Hi. I’m new to this forum, having discovered it a few weeks ago while seeking information about IdeaMason. I have tried FileHamster and found that it works as advertised, but was surprised at the memory resources it required. Another ‘lite” version control application, also free and simpler to use, is called VCSLite, available here: http://www.acaciacons.com.au/vcslite/vcslite.htm. It’s been around for awhile with no updates, but I’ve used it under both Windows 98 and XP and it performed fine in each case.

FYI, if a heavier-duty version control option is required, another (free again) option is CS-RCS Pro. Quite powerful. Other free options available at the site: http://www.componentsoftware.com.
