What source management tools are compatible with delphi

Delphi Client/Server is said to include built-in connectivity to PVCS. In addition, it should be possible to connect to most non-language-specific source control systems. However, Delphi forms are stored in non-text format, so a source control package must support binary data if it is to work with Delphi. If your have a source manager that simply cannot deal with binary files, Rick Thompson <rat@ab00.larc.nasa.gov> points out: "According to the docs (User Guide, pp. 94-95) you can save forms as ASCII text for editing or version control purposes. ASCII forms can also be loaded and resaved in binary *.DFM format." According to Chuck Lownie <chuck@mks.com>, "MKS Source Integrity (MKS SI is 2nd in PC/PCLAN source management market next to PVCS with over 35,000 developers using SI) also offers integration into Delphi. Our integration into Delphi is currently being shipped along with MKS Source Integrity, however, in a future maintenance release of Delphi, our integration will also be shipped in the Delphi box, similar to PVCS."
