>When you say "multiple checkouts", so you mean selecting more than one file or a directory and then checking everything out or do you mean multiple people checking out the same file?

I guess I wasn't clear in my question. I meant like 4 developers checking out the same file and having it work when they check it back in :)

>One of the features of VSS is its ability to have multiple developers check out the same file and then merge the changes when they are checked back in. VSS does this very well (I hear) with VB and other text based development files. VSS will display a message saying in essence "NO WAY" if you try to do the same with binary files. It can't do a byte by byte comparison with binary files and merge your changes with another's.

So it works well for non-binary files then?

Thanks
