Overview

SCCS (Source Code Control System) integration seamlessly integrates popular version control packages into the Paradigm C++ Professional IDE. With an integrated SCCS provider you can check out files, make changes, compare the differences and then check the source code changes back in, all within the Paradigm C++ Professional IDE using only a mouse. SCCS integration greatly increases your productivity since you never leave the Paradigm C++ Professional IDE to perform these important tasks.

Since there is no need to check out files to make changes, you are free to experiment with the files in your project and do the checkout only when you like the results. Paradigm C++ only shows the valid operations for a SCCS file, so if a file is currently checked out, the SCCS operations displayed on the menu will be Check In, Undo Check Out, Compare Differences, and Show History. SCCS can maintain multiple versions of a file, including a tracking record of all changes made to the file from one version to another. You can to retrieve previous versions at any time.
