CVS Comparisons

Many people would like to know what the differences between CVS and PRCS are. Why should you switch? First, since PRCS does not yet operate with the client/server model, you should choose CVS if your needs are distributed. A client/server version of PRCS is planned for the next major release. Version 1.2 is expected to be the last 1.x release of PRCS. Second, you should choose CVS if your needs include running clients on Windows or Macintosh platforms. There are no current plans to port PRCS to these platforms. With those two items out of the way, why should you pick PRCS?
