No, I don't, but I'd like to broaden the question.  I'm in a group
developing software for a number of platforms (pick your popular
favorite/hobgoblin platform, we may be doing it).  We'd like to share
code where possible among the platforms, but need to control it.
Our situation is:
   -	Multiple platforms, each with its own devlopment environment
	(think MSDOS, Macintosh, UNIX system V, OS/2, etc).
   -	All are connected via a LAN, with a UNIX boxes serving as
	file servers, as well as the development machines for the
	UNIX platform.
   -	We'd like ONE set of controlled source, that ANY developer
	can check out/check in, FROM THAT DEVELOPER'S HOME ENVIRONMENT.
   -	The user interface (even the supplier) can differ among
	the platforms, but they must share control for a single
	set of source code.

We currently have small subgroups using SCCS, RCS, and PVCS in different
environments, but are willing to migrate to a solution to the above
problem.

Any suggestions?
