Good points to consider, Charles.  CMS, by its definition & purpose, is not
really the issue for us, and would really raise the complexity level for the
simple tracking we are attempting to accomplish.  I don't want to have to
force check in / check out processes -- there aren't that many of us that we
can't keep track of who is working on what.  Not to mention the expense of
CMS.  As far as resources, we are literally "swimming" in available DASD &
CPU, so resources are not an issue (at this time).  At the very least, we
need to see what the resource hit will be.

Thanks,
