I'm looking for info on any client for OS X that will integrate with a Visual SourceSafe repository.

I know Metrowerks used to have something but I'm looking for something current if there is anything out there.

thanks in advance.

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

I would hate to run VirtualPC just to run VSS.

I am forced to use windows at work just for SS, too. Yell at your boss and get him to use a real repository... like CVS.

You could ask these people for an OS X port:

See here: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SourceSafe for some discussion and alternatives.

I would like to, however I work at Volkswagen and I don't think being the sole person in the environment on a mac will help my cause.

I wonder if fink could port something...

Yeah convincing a company who has been using the whole MS visual studio suite for 10 years to totally abandon their development/version control system is not an easy task, if possible at all. I posted this a while ago and have since just resorted to using the PC i have next to me to use Sourcesafe and then swapping the file myself between these two machines. I'll eventually get Virtual PC but the thought of it makes my stomach turn. I'd like to find a way around it.

At least I've been given the go ahead to use OS X as a development platform, that's half the battle right?
