Features of TLIB Version Control for DOS, OS/2 and Windows 3.1x/95/98/NT/2K

New Features
in TLIB 5.04-5.51 and TLIB Version Control for Windows

Easy to use Graphical User Interface, with button bar, menus, right-button functionality, helpful status-bar guidance, MRUs, etc.. Honed to smooth ease-of-use through a long beta test cycle and continual improvements.*
Flexible file pick-list, with multiple selection, sorting, etc..*
Full compatibility with command-line versions of TLIB and full upward-compatibility with all past versions of TLIB.
Direct support for the compiler-native “project files” for several popular software development tools, including Visual Basic 3.0-6.0, Watcom C/C++ 10.x-11.0, Borland/Inprise Delphi, Symantec Visual Cafe, MS Developer Studio 5.0/6.0 (C++/J++/etc.), the MultiEdit, Codewright, and Visual SlickEdit editors, and Help Magician Pro. That means you can simply "open" a compiler-native project in TLIB, rather than specifying files with wild-cards and file-lists. (We will also be adding support for other compilers and editors.) *
Fully restartable multiple-file operations. TLIB deselects each file in the pick-list when done processing that file, so you can cancel the operation (or skip individual files) and later restart the command to resume where you left off or process the skipped files.*
A very nice, colorful, side-by-side visual compare, fully integrated.*
Easy to use Windows-based installation under Windows 3.1, Windows-95/98, Win-OS/2, and Windows-NT/2000. Includes an uninstaller, too, but we doubt you'll ever use it.*
TLIB Add-Ins for Visual Basic 4.0 (32-bit only), Visual Basic 5.0, and (in beta) Visual Basic 6.0. Even VB 4.0 standard edition and VB 5.0 Learning Edition are supported.*
TLIB Add-In for MS Developer Studio 5.0 (C++/J++/etc.).
Three public APIs, for integrating TLIB with your application: a callable interface to the fully-reentrant TLIB Windows DLL engine, an "invisible DDE" interface to the TLIB for Windows executable, and an API based on the Windows messaging system.*
Includes command-line versions of TLIB with support for long filenames (paths of up to 80, 104, or 259 characters, depending upon the version & configuration of TLIB and the OS) under OS/2,* Windows-95/98, and Windows-NT/2000.*
The GUI (graphical) TLIB for Windows supports long filenames under Windows-95/98 and Windows-NT/2000. Under OS/2, you must stick to "8.3" file names or else use the included OS/2 command-line version of TLIB, which does support longer file names.
A configuration parameter can be set to enforce "8.3" filenames in mixed-platform environments, to ensure compatibility.
Unrivaled configurability. TLIB now supports over 100 different configuration parameters. TLIB's configuration file supports "if/endif," "include," conditional loading, environment variable references, and full expression evaluation, including parentheses and 28 different operators.
TLIB Configuration Wizard helps you quickly configure TLIB the way you need it.*
Very flexible wild-card specifications, including support for file-lists, multiple asterisks in wild-card specs (even under DOS or Windows 3.1x), six different wild-card search modes (most of which can now be combined), and optional automatic spanning of subdirectories (with any/all search modes).
Automatic translation of DOS, Unix, and Macintosh ASCII text files; that is, text files with all three common kinds of end-of-line delimiters: LF, CR, and CR+LF. Configurable control over which text format is generated by TLIB when extracting ("checking out") text files. (Of course, for binary files no translation is ever done.)
* those features indicated by asterisks are not present in the DOS-only edition of TLIB.

Oldies But Goodies:
The Features That Earned TLIB All Those Rave Reviews

TLIB Version Control supports all languages
TLIB runs very, very fast. Most magazine reviewers have found that TLIB is noticeably faster than any other version control system
A single library file stores all versions of a source file, with date/time, user id, and comments for each version
Coordinates access by multiple programmers
N-way Branching and named project-level support, for parallel development
Branch/level-local locking option
TLIB's unique append-in-place forward delta system provides higher reliability and recoverability than any reverse-delta product
Open architecture: there are no secrets about TLIB's file formats, nor about where your precious source code is stored
Unique Whole-Level Change Migration, eases merging of changes into customized variants of your software, or from bug-fix/release levels into development levels, etc.. If you have to manage lots of customized versions of one program, this feature is absolutely indispensable... and (as far as we know) only TLIB has it
Full, delta-based binary file support, with true adaptive deltas
Very flexible, user-formatted, embedded-keyword support
Keyword-based version number verification, warns if you store an obsolete version, even if you disable check-in/out locking
Simple snapshot-based version labeling
Automated conversion from PVCS, SourceSafe, MS Delta, Sorcerer's Apprentice, and any of several variants of RCS
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
Automatic "delta" generation - only changes are stored from version to version
Coordinated control of multiple modules: "fixed" snapshot version labels, and "floating" tracked versions for each named project level
Supports trees of subdirectories
Can merge (reconcile) simultaneous changes, and flag conflicts, or undo intermediate revisions without losing later changes
"Promote" between project levels, for ISO 9001-style staged development on large projects
Optional reference directories for each level
Revision history documents changes, and central activity journal for "audit trail" of development activity, including revision comments, for entire project
Create file-lists by scanning source code for includes (C, Pascal, MASM, QuickBasic, COBOL "copy", many others)
Efficient support of local & wide area networks, remote access nodes, WORM optical drives
Mainframe-compatible deltas in any of four formats
PCOM fast parallel-port communication program
Integrated with Opus Make and most good programmers' editors
