Hi Cathriona


Texcel's Information Manager (www.texcel.no <http://www.texcel.no> ) is a
fine document management system. I have used it before, and it provides an
effective way to share and control documents at a variety of levels. The
drawback? It works best with SGML-based documents, although I believe they
are doing work to support other types.

        Can anyone suggest a good, simple way of managing documents?

        I need to create a system that will allow co-workers to work on each
        other's project documents. The system needs to track changes, so
that we
        know who wrote what version, what changes they made, and which
version
        of a document is the most recent.

        It should also allow me to restrict access to certain documents. I
don't
        want any busy-bodies messing with my precious user guides!

        Our company uses SourceSafe for managing source code, but I've been
told
        that this isn't suitable for documents, some of which are quite
large.

        Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. You can reply to
the
        list or directly to me at criordan -at- flexicom -dot- ie -dot- 

        Thanks
        Cathriona
