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

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.

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.
