I've tried MS Sourcesafe a couple of times, due to employers who had already
bought the big M$ .

Basically, it really sucks.  It is hard to use, lacks many features found in
even inexpensive source-control packages, and it crashed on me several
times, destroying my archives in the process.

A colleague of mine turned me onto a package called QVCW by Quma Software.

It's so cheap it's practically free, has a nice Windoze interfact that's
intuitive and easy to use, has PVCS-like DOS commands if you're masochistic,
and has worked reliably for me.
