The other big problem with PVCS (besides the cost) is it's lack of support
for HPFS-acceptable long file names.  I'd suggest looking at Tichy's RCS,
for which OS2 patches were posted a couple months back.  It doesn't have
all the bells and whistles of PVCS, but it's free, and if you don't like
the way it works, you've got the source code.

I suppose that in fairness to Sage I should point out that our development
group is using PVCS; however, I still use RCS for my personal stuff.
