Re: Understanding the VSS paradigm...

I'm now slowly understanding that my thought process is stuck in trying

to control the output files but maybe (as the name suggests) Source
Safe solely manages source - so how does industry tie the multiple
versions of source with a final number of the output?


Maybe this is the area I'm struggling to understand!


Here's an example:


Source:
Main.c (VSS version 1)
MyLibrary.c (VSS version 4)
MyFunctions.c (VSS version 23)


Output:
MyConsoleApp.exe (file version 1.0.0.5)


Source files increment every time a change is made and
check-out/check-in process occurs


So how does one link the file version 1.0.0.5 to the multiple versions
of source and keep history??


Cheers for any help
