PVCS and Merge Tool Integration

Any thoughts of integrating with pvcs, their merge tool bytes and I enjoy using bc!

Anyone else is welcome to chime in, but we don't have any official suggestions. PVCS has apparently been replaced by "Merant Professional", and it looks like a pretty big hassle to get a demo copy, so we haven't checked their third-party diff support.

You might have some luck asking Merant. If they do support third-party diff utilities post it here and I'll add it to our version control page.

We use PVCS from Merant and I've written a simple app that allows one to use Beyond Compare ('cause it's the best!) for the "Show Differences" menu option. Shoot me a private message if interested.

Hi,
I am in the same situation, using Merant Pro and wanted to change the diff tools with the BC2 one.

Please, don't wait to post, what is your solution.
Laurent, :p

We've just added PVCS instructions on our version control page (http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?c=kb_vcs). It uses a user-contributed program that replaces the standard pvcsmerge.exe with one that calls BC2. It includes the C++ source in case anyone needs it.

We haven't tested it internally, so if you have trouble with it or have any fixes/enhancements, either post them here or send an email to support@scootersoftware.com.

no2nt: If your program does anything differently/better we'd be happy to add it to our page too.
