We use SourceSafe and LOVE IT.  I don't know how it compares to PVCS or MKS
as I haven't used those...

SourceSafe is quite fast and runs well under Windows 95.  The interface is
similar to the Explorer (tree view of projects/dirs on the left, file list
on the right).  Right-mouse button context menus all over the place.

The only thing that I hasn't got is drag'n'drop support for the Win95 shell
(you can't have it ALL I guess)...
