Title:
	Aegis
	
Description:
	Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration
	management system.  It provides a framework within
	which a team of developers may work on many changes to
	a program concurrently, and Aegis coordinates
	integrating these changes back into the master source
	of the program, with as little disruption as possible.
	
	Aegis is a CASE tool with a difference.  In the spirit
	of the UNIX Operating System, Aegis is a small
	component designed to work with other programs.
	
	Many CASE systems attempt to trap users with the
	components supplied by the CASE system, and if you
	don't like one of the components (it may be too
	limited, for instance), then that is just tough.
	
	In contrast, UNIX provides many components of a CASE
	system - compilers, editors, dependency maintenance
	tools (such as make), history tools (such as RCS).  You
	may substitute the tool of your choice if you don't
	like the ones supplied with the system.  Aegis adds
	software configuration management to this list, and true
	to UNIX philosophy, Aegis does not dictate the choice
	of any of the other tools (although it may stretch them
	to their limits).
	
	Aegis runs on almost any flavor of UNIX.  Self
	configuring using a GNU Autoconf generated configure
	script.
