I've been using VSS With CW6 on OS 9.x for several months with no
significant problems beyond the significant problems that were already
present with CW5.  As far as I know, VSS is completely incompatible with
OS X, but that's not a function of the CW version...

I do not know of any non pre-existing issues with CodeWarrior 6 and VSS.

Here's a couple I found yesterday:

On the Source Control Prefs panel for SourceSafe trying to get it to "save" 
you password is like trying it juggle chainsaws! I Eventually got it to 
"save" them, but you have to do all kinds of frigging around to get the 
"save" button to light up at the right time. It's too hard to explain right 
now, but I will do a more details report later.

On my machine, this will hang the IDE *every* time. I have two projects, one 
an App and one a Lib. The App includes the Libs project file and the Targets 
are setup so that if you compile the App, it will compile the right target in 
the lib. This works fine. If you log onto VSS from both projects and then hit 
the "show dirty files" button on the project window (the red check mark 
button). Then it will check the files in the App ok and then try to do the 
same to the Lib project. At this point the whole IDE goes beswick. Certain 
window controls work (like you can collapse the window etc.) but the contents 
are not drawn (you're left with a while content section). The only way out is 
to restart. This worked fine under 5.3.
