<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>

<p>These tasks provide an interface to
the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3h0544kx(v=vs.80).aspx"
target="_top">Microsoft Visual SourceSafe</a> SCM via <a href="https://sourcegear.com"
target="_top">SourceGear's</a> <a href="https://sourcegear.com/sos/" target="_top">SourceOffSite</a>
product. SourceOffSite is an add-on to Microsoft's VSS, that allows remote development teams and
tele-commuters that need fast and secure read/write access to a centralized SourceSafe database via
any TCP/IP connection. SOS provides Linux, Solaris &amp; Windows
clients. The <code class="code">org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sos</code> package consists
of a simple framework to support SOS functionality as well as some Apache Ant tasks encapsulating
frequently used SOS commands.  Although it is possible to use these commands on the desktop, they
were primarily intended to be used by automated build systems. These tasks have been tested with
SourceOffSite version 3.5.1 connecting to VisualSourceSafe 6.0. The tasks have been tested with
Linux, Solaris &amp; Windows 2000.</p>
