- I am writing a final year degree project in SmallTalk, part of which
- involves building a version control system. Admittedly I haven't actually
- tried implementing it yet, but it seems like just a matter of getting
- the compiler to look elsewhere instead of the system dictionary. (and
- building browsers etc. to access the different versions).
- The conceptual simplicity and the usefulness of such a facility, leads
- me to wonder what's so difficult about it that nobody appears to have
- done this before.
- Hense I would be very interested if anybody who has already tried this
- could let me know wether is it actually possible, merely not worth the effort
- or just a corperate secret.
- Replies by email would be appriciated as I don't get to read news that
- often these days.
- Thanks,
- Malcolm.
