You don't mention CVS (Concurrent Versioning System, an open-source 
package), and I've wondered for a while whether it would be any good at 
version control for docs. It seems to have a lot of advantages (besides 
being open-source), such as having clients on a huge number of platforms 
<http://cvshome.org/dev/codes.html> and servers on almost as many. 
Cross-platform support always turns out to be useful for any tool, when 
it's available, even if it isn't an up-front requirement.

So, if anyone has experience with CVS to control docs, please post on 
that as well...

Thanks,
----->Mike
