Revision Control Software

[donaldsa]

Does anyone know of a revision control system that I could easily integrate into a custom designed application? My users need to be able to check in/out text files and view past revisions. I would like to be able to setup a document server and then add simple menu button to my application to give my users access to the files. All of the revision control systems that I have seen are either a) standalone systems without any integration, b) expensive when you need a site license, or c) bloated with features that my users don't need. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Yes, you can use GNU RCS, which comes with source code. However, since it's GPL'd you'll also have to release your source with it. The other things you can do is simply use RCS standalone executables and just call them from within your program.
