Most of our problems were with incredibly cryptic command switches and
poor/misleading documentation.  As I recall, once you got all the switches
straight it worked OK (i.e. did not trash archive files).  I personally
have not tried (or seen) any of the GUI versions of PVCS.  I can only relay
rumors that I have heard from other people.
