12 ICE (Version Control Systems Generally Available "Free)
Its authors report that the Incremental Configuration Engine (ICE) is
a tool that will provide a logic-based support for all areas of
configuration management, including integrated and uniform revision
and variant management, binary file repositories, inference of
configuration consistency, and deductive program construction, while
being as compatible as possible with existing standards.
Users have reported problems with crashes in the GUI and some "serious
problems" with the command line. It mapped filenames in the usual 8.3
PC NFS manner, even if the source file and archive files were on the
same Windows 95 disk, and it didn't do that mapping consistantly,
causing the user to be unable to check in two files with similar names
or to out a file which had been checked in because it mapped the name
differently. Although it is still available, ICE is no longer
maintained.
