RE: Source Control

We have been battling with the source control issue for some time. Our
conditionalized user guide is approx 200 pages with 300 images. When we
commit it
to CVS the 15 Mb book blows out to 212 Mb and nukes the server. It also
loses
the variable definitions when you retreive it so the TOC and Index cease to
update.
The compromise we are looking at now is to remove the TOC, Index and
Illustrations directory before committing the remaining source to CVS. Keep
a copy
of the TOC and index files as templates and back up illustration files
outside of
CVS.(Illustrations are imported by reference). This leaves you with a text
file that
can be committed either as a mif file or as a manageable fm source file.
Hope this helps.
