The company's name is Polytron. The product is PVCS (Polytron Version
Control System). They usually advertise in PC-type mags and
programming mags, i.e. Dr.Dobbs, Computer Language, etc.
One thing about Projector that I've heard is that you can never
reclaim space from a Projector "document".
Of course you can always port RCS over.
One of the big pains about Think C is that they don't have
a version control system. (How did those guys at Aldus survive?)
