VOODOO Server 1.1.1 – Version Control over the Internet using MacOS 9
Hagenberg, AUSTRIA, November-25-1999, UNI SOFTWARE PLUS GmbH is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of the new version 1.1.1 of their
flagship version control tool VOODOO Server.
The new release is a maintenance release which fixes some minor
compatibility issues with Mac OS 9. In particular, connectivity over
TCP/IP, one of the major new features of Mac OS 9, is now fully supported
in VOODOO Server 1.1.1.
“We are excited about the new features of Mac OS 9, especially the new
connectivity over IP. With VOODOO Server 1.1.1 you can make good use of
this new feature and perform your version control tasks over the Internet,
regardless whether you are using VOODOO Server’s CodeWarrior plug-in or
your own AppleScripts for your individual version control needs” said
Christoph Reichenberger, VOODOO product manager, UNI SOFTWARE PLUS.
VOODOO Server 1.1.1 comes with a suite of AppleScript examples which not
only show VOODOO Server’s powerful scripting capabilities, but can also be
used as they are. Some of them can be invoked from CodeWarrior’s script
menu, and others can be used a droplets for performing version control
tasks from the Finder.

package for free at:

For Newcomers – the Quick Guide to VOODOO Server!
VOODOO Server is a version control system for software developers using
Metrowerks CodeWarrior under Mac OS. VOODOO Server and the corresponding
CodeWarrior plug-in provide reliable and robust version control without
adding the administrative overhead that usually accompanies version control.
VOODOO Server is the successor to the company’s award-winning stand-alone
version control application VOODOO. The new client/server system was
designed to combine the experience from the previous product VOODOO with
state-of-the-art technology (client/server architecture, full support of
the AppleEvent Object Model, etc.).
The modern client/server architecture (which is not available in other
Macintosh version control systems) forms the basis for a highly efficient
and robust multi-user environment and avoids the risk of database
corruption. VOODOO Server’s CodeWarrior plug-in offers a user-friendly
version control system that lets you track all your files without having to
deal with additional complexity and administrative overhead, all from
inside the CodeWarrior IDE in an easy-to-use Mac-like style.
Using an innovative combination of delta storage and compression technology
VOODOO Server yields much better compression rates than most other version
control tools. The typical savings are in the range 95 to 99 percent. These
rates are achieved not only for text files but for files of arbitrary type.
A fully functional trial version can be downloaded directly from the
company’s web site at:

The package includes a tutorial that teaches all important aspects within
just a few hours.
Availability and Pricing
VOODOO Server can be ordered online directly from UNI SOFTWARE PLUS as well
as from their resellers.
VOODOO Server offers a floating license scheme, which does not force you to
buy one full license for every computer. Instead, one server license
entitles you to install and run the server on one and the client on any
number of computers. The number of client licenses you purchase determines
the number of concurrent client connections the server will allow.
