Coming from a windows VFP environment I feel the pain these guys are feeling.
Like them I had no idea what/how/why SVN helped. Oh I had heard of visual
safe source - but I knew it did not work with VFP (it sort of worked -
badly). The only other thing was something called PCS 100 years ago.
Anyway, I'll try to write something to help others like myself and post it or
have someone review what I write.
