We use "vguide" from Lucent Technologies Nuernberg.  It works very well for
controlling large designs using multiple designers.

I have no conection with Lucent.  I just like the product.

There are several products available depending on your OS.  For PC, there is
PVCS, MKS-RCS and CS-RCS.  You can download them from www.shareware.com.
The first 2 are quite expensive -- about $500 a copy.  CS-RCS is simple and
costs about $50.  We use CS-RCS and are quite happy.  It supports both WinNT
and Unix OS that we use here.

We (at Denali Software) use a system from Clio Software.  I believe that the
Web address is http://www.cliosoft.com.  The tool works very well, and the
GUI is usable right out of the box; I've myself never bothered with the
documentation.

I use a tool that came out last year called SOS, made by Cliosoft.  It's
graphical and easy to use (has a command line interface too though).  Some
of my VHDL and Verilog clients use it too, and it's helped them out a lot.
It's based on RCS; in fact, you can import in existing RCS databases.  But
you can also do a lot more than RCS.  The website is http://www.cliosoft.com

You might want to look at CVS, which is good, free, has several GUI based 
front ends, import of RCS and SCCS, web browsing interfaces, and much
more.  See www.cyclic.com

Also, there is a newsgroup, comp.software.config-mgmt, devoted to these
kinds of tools, and that might be a good place to go to get more info.
