Ick... SourceSafe is a blight. It's worse than Windows, if that's
possible. For Windows environments where CVS just won't do (because your
users are afraid of a command line interface) I'd recommend StarTeam.
See starbase.com. It's proprietary, and I've gotten better support
occasionally, but all in all it's a good deal and very usable for
non-technical personnel. If most of your problem is content management
they've got this thing called "StarDisk" that connects to the StarTeam
server and looks like a network mounted file system. It's very easy for
tech-writers to grasp the whole thing. CVS, on the other hand, is much
better, but suffers from "command lines are hard" inhibitions.
