HOWTO:Maintain the source code and exe file

[Masaaki]

Hi,all.

Yesterday, I got 6.4GB HD and now my computer has 12.8GB HD totally.
Also I succeeded to recover my VC source code from the broken HD.

Nowsday, I have much trouble to maintain the VC source code,
Because I installed three OSs - Win95, WinNT W and WinNT S and
use FAT, one drive has only 2047MB.
I downloaded many sample codes as well as write my own code.
Sometimes, I forgot the location of VC code because my source code
is located at C,D,E,F,G,H drive.
Probably, I concentrate on one logical drive to maintain the code
and make the directory like ATL, Database,and control.

How do you maintain and backup your code?
Did you keep exe file by both debug and release?

Thank you in advance.

Hello!
This problem, certainly, can be resolved in very different manners. One way to resolve it is integrated with Visual Studio: it is VSS. It allows you to keep all your code in one database, to track changes, create versions and so on. If you don't like VSS or there are any other reasons not to use it, you can try one of other version control systems. It could be, for example, RCS. It will work on various platforms, including NT, 95, OS/2, Unix, Linux..... Visit http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/hammer/rcs.html for details.
