This week's Java e-newsletter describes how to create prior work using source code control. How do you recreate legacy code? Are there any tricks to restoring prior work that you can share with your peers?

We use CMS (Code Management System) on VMS. CMS stores text files and keeps track of all versions. We use it to store source for COBOL, C, Macro, Java, comand procedures, parameters tables, scheduler commands, etc. Using CMS, one can retrieve any version of a source file from the first entry to the present production version. We have combined CMS with some programming to create a Version Control system which automatically keeps track of source by project and does system builds from the changed source only building what is necessary. This latter function uses MMS (Module Management System).
