ZylVSS

ZylVSS is a simple Delphi / C++Builder component designed to help users work with Visual SourceSafe easier than before. With the help of this program, users can embed a variety of version control features into Delphi and C++Builder projects.

Users who are working with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) know that it has been designed in the form of a source control software package that creates a virtual library of computer files and which has been designed specifically for use with small software development projects.

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is commonly used for source code, but it includes support for a broad range of file types in its database.

To get the software up and running, users need to unzip the downloadable zip file and then open ZylVSSPack.dpk in Delphi, or ZylVSSPack.bpk in C++Builder. After compiling and installing it, users need to add the path of the installation to Tools/Environment Options/Library in Delhi, or to Tools/Options/C++ Options/Paths in C++Builder.

The component can be dragged and dropped to any form, and users can set its properties by the Object Inspector. Moreover, it allows users to write event handlers with a double-click on the preferred event in the Events tab of the Object Inspector.

The demo version of ZylVSS can be used with both Delphi and C++Builder IDEs, but displays a nag screen.
