Visual Source Safe (VSS) help required

Question

I just installed Visual SourceSave (VSS) and need some help. Please take a look at the screenshot. Is this VSS server or client? I assume this is server. So I need client which I will install on other PCs which will access this server? Or this is server/client both and I just need to install this on all machines?

And please guide me to some nice VSS tutorial.

Thanks

Answer 1

Client en server are the same tool.

On Wikipedia there is a VSS page with links to interesting articles

VSS is a bit dated, you might also want to checkout Subversion or if you've got some money to burn try TeamFoundationServer.

Answer 2

That is a shot of the client program that you use to access the repository (outside of any VS integration, we used the same thing with an old FoxPro app). See here for details of the client...
