Windows, Linux and macOS versions are available from .....              https://www.smartsvn.com/              I've used the Linux version for many years and have found that "Lite" mode        more than meets my needs.               AA> But I suppose we would need a webbased versioning system, not a        AA> local one for participants/editors?              The master copy of the document would be held in the remote svn repository        and all changes to the document would be done in the users' own local        working copy of the document. All changes to the users' working copy of        the document would then be commited by each user to the master copy in the        remote svn repository. That's simplifying it a bit but you should get the        jist of how it works :)              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:310/31.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664 700 1016       SEEN-BY: 229/1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 310/31 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
