Re: Storing source in IFS?

At this time we just "played" with source in the IFS.

Rob, do you use embedded SQL? We have quite a bit, so IFS is not a good 
option, yet, until the SQL team catches up. And we all know how soon 
that'll be!

If you do, you must have separate procedures, right? Or are you using a 
CMS 
that handles things for you?

It'd be nice, esp. for C, to be able to use any editor without risk of 
losing the source. Saving back to source physical files is risky with 
NetServer - I've lost stuff - backups are great to have!

Thanks

Vern
