ComponentSoftware RCS supports the following repository types:
| · | Central CS-RCS Repository - The project exists in a folder or sub-tree of the central Repository. This is the default repository type and requires the minimum settings since the working files are mapped to the central ComponentSoftware RCS repository.
|
| · | Alternate RCS Repository - Use this type to access an external RCS Repository tree. This type is usually used to access projects of other departments or other companies.
|
| · | CVS Repository - Use this type to access a remote GNU CVS Repository using one of the CVS client/server protocols (pserver, ntserver, rsh, ssh). This option is available after you install the CS-CVS add-on package. For full information, please see the CS-CVS website at: http://www.componentsoftware.com/products/cvs

Project Work Modes
ComponentSoftware RCS supports the following work modes:
| · | Single Owner - Only the project administrator may check-in new revisions. This mode is useful for private projects or to provide better control during critical release phases. This is the only work mode available in a single-user environment.
|
| · | Exclusive Locks - This mode prevents two users from modifying the same file at the same time. Users must lock the file before they can edit and check it in. This is the default mode in a workgroup environment.
|
| · | Concurrent Changes (CVS) - This mode supports concurrent changes to the same file. Whenever possible, ComponentSoftware RCS will automatically merge the changes. Refer to Concurrent Changes (CVS) Mode in the User Guide for more details. (This mode is available on CS-RCS Pro only.)
