What Is Subversion?
The goal of the Subversion project is to build a version control system that is
a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community.

I struggled with all the CVS stuff. They seem very heavyweight, built
for multiple developers over a network etc.. And varying stability.
I use Perforce (www.perforce.com) which is a commercial product but free
for single developers. It's very good, stable and the support is
excellent. It is primarily targetted at big teams of developers too,
but it really does work well for little old me too!
HTH!

I've only seen RCS in the freeware world for DOS (and I used it back in
the 1980s), CVS and Subversion _might_ have 16-bit implementations, but
I wouldn't count on it.
Thinking about the source code for CVS, I really don't think so, even
though it is (sort of) built on RCS.
I also seem to remember a DOS version of SCCS, but where?!?!?!
At least RCS (and SCCS) will run in a 16-bit environment, I used them on
80286s running Xenix as well as DOS, and they started life on 16-bit
PDP-11s. The fun stuff starts with the tweaky things they do to file
names, which, of course, don't work on DOS. So, they do strange things
like throw directories in the repository with names like "V" (and P, and
L, ...)
I'm sure that I got the DOS version of RCS from WSMR, it may take some
hunting down. For that matter there are GNU versions, just grab the
source and compile it.
