What products can be used to control/preserve PureBasic source code? I am using the Windows operating system.

I am really new to PureBasic so please make it simple or it will be over my head.

Thanks for your input

pls ask again in other words.
I have no idea what you mean by "control/preserve PureBasic source code"

Welcome to the forum, NewBeOne.

Do you mean something like Sourcesafe, CVS, Subversion, etc. ?

Yes I do need mean something like Sourcesafe, CVS, Subversion, etc. I'm not sure what is good to use for PureBasic code.

What's wrong with CVS or Subversion?

I have no experience with Sourcesafe, CVS, Subversion, how to use it, the cost, ease of use. My experience is with Implementer on an AS400 machine or Endevor on a Mainframe, I have no experience with any type of version control on a PC.

In other words lead me towards the best for PureBasic that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is easy to implement and use! I don't want much do I :)

Thanks for your input.

Both Subversion and CVS are free and have become a standard in
opensource development.

http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/
http://subversion.tigris.org/

The web is full of information on both of them, so just take your favorite
searchengine and read through all the informative sites you'll find for sure.

Personally I think using CVS is pretty easy, straight forward and comfortable
enough, a lot of people however do have their (initial) problems with it.
Just give it a go.

(BTW, Visual Sourcesafe is a Microsoft product, not compatible to PureBasic)

I personally use Subversion by now. Was a bit silly to setup but after looking behind it its very nice.

Using TortoiseSVN as Client under Windows ( integrates nicely into Explorer )

I personally use SVN too since most projects in sourceforge migrated from CVS to SVN now. I dont know the reason though. Whats the big difference between the two anyway? They are quite similar IMHO.
