It handles multiple developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The following tasks are not included; they can be done in conjunction with CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other than CVS: bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like tools), and automated testing.			30, 40

DCC, Disciplined ANSI C Language Checker	This product checks that a C source file complies with the precepts of Disciplined C, a set of rules aiming at elevating ANSI C to the rank of high level language (as opposed to portable assembly language), and making as much semantics as possible flow from the design to the source code. This is achieved mainly via quasi-compulsory types/constants naming and 'const' qualifier use. The product also detects most of the pitfalls of the C language, helps the programmer organize his program modules and write them so that they are well encapsulated and more portable, and finally gives some much-needed compile-time checking tools.

DECW	These command files allow you to add menu items to a FileView or Session Manager Menu that allow access to remote systems. The advantage of these routines is that you can use them on a FileView session that is running on a different host than your X-Server display to launch programs on a third or more hosts. This is quite useful when your X-11 Server is not running on an OpenVMS host.			50

XGAS	xgas is a physical simulation of an ideal gas in a heated box. Gas molecules move around the box with velocities dependent on their temperature.
