I went to the trouble of setting up Visual Sourcesafe on a Linux system recently. There was a fair amount of futzing required, so I've documented what I had to do at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html Comments and corrections welcome. I'd also love to know how to get this working without hardcoding NT usernames and passwords! The commandline app appears to be fully functional (or at least as functional as it was under Windows :-), and the GUI is about 98% functional (the 'set working directory' dialog is very flaky, but works just well enough to not be a showstopper for me). It is rather slow, and I haven't used it long enough to know whether it's truly usable. - Dan

Some time ago I desperately needed exactly this information to move my development platform to Linux. Dan, it would be great if you could add this information to the Wine Applications Database. People will find it there. See: http://appdb.codeweavers.com/appview.php?appId=187 Thank you, Andriy Palamarchuk
