I'm currently consulting for a company that uses Visual Source Safe. They are considering Perforce, along with a few other SCM tools. I have been charged with evaluating the various products, specifically Perforce. I then need to compile the results in a report to the V.P. of engineering. I'm looking to the Perforce user community to learn about the differences in the products and the pros and cons of switching to Perforce. I have little knowledge about VSS, but have used Perforce in prior jobs. The company is an internet company running about 50 developers on NT. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

See <URL: http://maillist.perforce.com/pipermail/perforce-user/1998-July/001079. html> for my opinions last year, which haven't changed much, except to say that Perforce _users_ are a very helpful bunch as well.

I also haven't seen SourceSafe since early 1998. Perhaps it has improved dramatically in the past year. I'll eat my hat if it has magically become scalable.
