It can be reasonably used on anything that stores files as plain text documents. So the answer depends on your office environment. If you're using one of the XML-based office systems, you can use it with some success. If you're still using a system that stores data in binary files, it'll work - but isn't nearly as useful. I've had very good experiences using Perforce - which I perfer to CVS - to store system configuration files. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
