- Easy Conversion
Automated conversion from PVCS, SourceSafe, MS Delta,
Sorcerer's Apprentice, and several versions of RCS (MKS, GNU, Unix).
- Graphical User Interface
Easy to use GUI interface with button bar,
right-mouse functionality, editable MRUs, flexible file pick-list,
subdirectory spanning, and tooltip/status-bar guidance; both 16-bit and
32-bit versions are included.
- Visual Compare
A very nice, color, side-by-side visual compare, fully integrated.
- Supports All Languages & Files
TLIB can manage source code for all programming languages,
plus documentation, spreadsheets, CAD files, and more.
- Third-Party Product Compatibility
Specific support or integration with many popular software
development tools, including Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0-6.0 &
Visual Developer Studio 5.0/6.0 (C++ etc.), Watcom C/C++ 10.x-11.0,
Borland/Inprise Delphi & C++ Builder, Symantec Visual Cafe,
MultiEdit, Codewright, Visual SlickEdit, and Help
Magician Pro.
- Open Connectivity
Three public APIs, for integrating TLIB with your application:
a high-performance callable interface to the TLIB Windows DLL engine,
and two different program interfaces to the TLIB for Windows GUI.
- ISO 9001 Support
"Promote" between project levels, for ISO 9001-style staged
development on large projects.
- Powerful File Search & Select
Very flexible wild-card specifications, with six wild-card
search modes (plus combinations), optional subdirectories spanning,
nested file-lists, compiler/editor native project file parsing, Web site
parsing/spidering, and more.
- Speedy
TLIB runs very, very fast. Microsoft Systems Journal said TLIB
is "noticably faster than the other packages" that they tested (including PVCS and SourceSafe).

- Command Line Interface
Includes four different command-line versions of TLIB
for various operating systems, including versions which support long filenames
under OS/2 and Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, and an MS-DOS version with a
tiny memory footprint. The Win32 console-mode version also runs under
Linux's WINE Windows emulator (but it currently handles file names as
case-preserving/insensitive instead of case-senstitive).
- Mixed & Cross-Platform Capability
A configuration parameter can be set to enforce "8.3" filenames in
mixed operating environments, to ensure compatibility. Also, TLIB can
automatically translate DOS/Windows, Unix, and Macintosh ASCII text files.
Another configuration parameter controls which text format is generated
by TLIB when extracting ("checking out") text files. (Of course, for
binary files no translation is ever done.).
- Easy Installation
Easy to use Windows-based installation under Windows 3.1,
Windows-95/98/ME, Win-OS/2, and Windows-NT/2000/XP. NetSetup tool
simplfies installation on multiple workstations, and installing TLIB for
multiple operating systems on the same machine is a cinch.
- Complete Revision History
Revision history documents changes, and central activity journal for "audit
trail" of development activity, including revision comments, for entire project.
- Keyword Support
Very flexible, user-formatted, embedded-keyword support.
Plus, TLIB reads the keywords, as well as writes them: its unique
keyword-based version number verification warns if you store an obsolete
version, even if you disable check-in/out locking or play tricky copy/rename
games with your files.
- N-Way Branching
Unlimited N-way branching and named project-level support,
for parallel development and semi-customer software. Branch/level-local
locking option lets different teams work without interference. Whole-level
or single-file Change Migration/merge simplfies migrating changes between
different levels of code.
|
- Whole-Level Change Migration
Unique functionality allows merging of changes into customized
variants of your software, or from bug-fix/release levels into development
levels, etc.. If you have to manage many different versions of one program,
this feature is absolutely indispensable... and (as far as we know) only
TLIB has it.
- Conflict Handling
Can merge (reconcile) simultaneous changes, and flag conflicts, or undo
intermediate revisions without losing later changes.
- Unrivaled Configurability
TLIB supports over 100 different configuration parameters, plus
"if/endif," "include," expression evaluation, file tests, and environment variable
references.
- Configuration Wizard
TLIB Configuration Wizard helps you configure TLIB to get you
up and running in a hurry.
- Single Library File per Source File
A single library file stores all versions of the corresponding source file,
with date/time, user id, and comments for each version.
- Multiple Module Control
Coordinated control of multiple modules: "fixed" snapshot
version labels, and "floating" tracked versions for each named
project level.
- Open Architecture
There are no secrets about TLIB's file formats or where your precious source
code is stored, and no mysterious database to get corrupted.
- Forward Delta Storage
TLIB's unique append-in-place forward delta system provides higher
reliability, recoverability, and performance than any reverse-delta product.
TLIB supports full, automatic, adaptive, delta-based storage even of binary
files, so only changes are stored from version to version.
- Unlimited Technical Support
Free tech support, by email, fax, and phone. TLIB Version Control is the sole
product of a small company, so there's no wading through tedious phone menus and "tech support"
people who have no idea what you are talking about.
