    Thanks a lot Paresh, I knew CVS. To say the truth I need only to track changes and don't need to synchronize with other developers. Basically I need ONLY two features: 1) To know differences between two version of the same file 2) To be able to revert the changes to previous versions Is it possible that there isn't any product that does only this?

    RCS[^]is a non-networked revision control system. It has a few options more than you specified, but no GUI or other distractions.

      Thanks markkuk, Is this tool compatible with Visual Studio 2005? I think I need 'distractions' ...

        It's a pure command-line set of tools. It won't interact or interfere with VS2005 in any way.

          Hi All, We need an easy an light source code changes tracking system. It does exist something light and effective or should we opt for MS Visual Source Safe? Thanks a lot,

          I like SVN together with Trac, not "light" but easy peasy to use. There is also a Windows client that integrates into Explorer or your favourite IDE. They work nicely together and provide additional programming/product life-cycle support such as a ticket system, milestone planing and a wiki (agile fans like me will love it). Since you can get RSS feeds for parts of the SVN tree it was ideally in my past project to see changes in the code base, also nicely formatted with cross links to bug reports (e.g. you can use a RSS reader or an Outlook plugin to get only those code changes you are interested in). You can also create your own bug reports with SQL statements (e.g. create a page for your team and get open bugs sorted by release number). Hope it helps /M

            It could probably be used as "External Tool" from VS2005 (?)

              I do'nt think there are sample code that track code changes here.. If you go to a commercial solution, look at TrackBack, I downloaded an evaluation version and I really found it good.[executes in the background+tray]

                    you go to http://www.scitools.com/[^] You'll find it there and you can try the program for some 30 days. They have other programs that enables you quickly understand code project by offering automatically generated graphics, etc and also enhanced navigation and referencing tracking. But I really liked TrackBack, you have two edit views (with syntax coloring) where you can load two differents versions of one file, and then you have the changes zones highlighted. of course at first you must tell the program which directories must be tracked. when mechanisms are the same, i think the innovation comes within the interface..
