An environment where development is carried out on several different types
of machines. I.e. development of applications where one part of the
system runs on a PC and another part runs on a UNIX-box. At our company
we have several banking applications which are split between WS-300 (nGen from
Convergent) and TMX (awfull operating system from NCR). 

The problem with a lot of the the SCM's I've read about, is that they
expect you to have only one sort of machinery. I.e. all machines must
run UNIX and use TCP/IP to communicate.
