How to manage the code?

Hi all,

I have to package all the code to a zip file and rename it with date. Like Proj_051101.zip. But it's not convenient. I use software like CVS in company, but it seems must be run on server.
Is there any software run on PC for personal usage?

If this post should not be posted here, please let me know, thanks!

Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Best regards,
Davy

CVS runs on PC

if you are familiar with cvs, you can use cvs derivatives or frontends on your PC, like:

http://www.tortoisecvs.org/

another option could be MS SourceSafe but it is not free.

I have used TortoiseCVS and find it is what I want. So I write a tutorial for it.

TortoiseCVS tutorial v.1.1 (used in local PC i.e. without remote server):
(1) Download TortoiseCVS from sourceforge.net and install.

// Make local repository
(2) Right click on the fold you want to be a CVS fold(i.e. a repository) .
(3) Choose" Make new module".
(4) Choose protocal"Locally mounted folderlocal".
(5) Type in the fold name you want in "Repository folder" like"E:\example" and click "OK".
(6) There will be a pop-up and click "OK".

// Add file to sandbox
(7) Right click the file and choose "CVS add...".

// Commit the file to Local Repository
(8) Right click the file and choose "CVS Commit...".

// one file revert to an old version
(9) Right click the Unmodified file and choose "CVS"->"History...".
(10) Right click on the version you want to revert and choose "Save the revision as".
(11) When the Save As dialog appears, double-click on the file's name in the directory listing.
(12) Choose " replace the file" .

// One folder(project) revert to an old version
(13) Add tag to a folder (you can add tag to a file too).
Right click on a folder and choose "CVS"->"Tag".
Read the note below and give a Tag name.
(14) Revert to an old version.
Right click on the folder and choose "CVS"->"Checkout"
On "Module" tab, choose your "Repository folder" and click "Fetch list".
Then choose the module you want to checkout.
On "Revision" tab, choose "choose branch or tag". You may "update list"
and choose the name.
On "Options" tab, you may choose the method to generate the fold.
