<h2><a name="intro">Introduction</a> </h2>
         
<p>These tasks provide an interface to the  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/ssafe/default.asp" target="_top">
            Microsoft Visual SourceSafe</a>         SCM via <a href="http://www.sourcegear.com">
    SourceGear's</a> <a href="http://sourcegear.com/sos/index.htm">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 also provides Linux &amp; Solaris 
clients.  The  <code> org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sos</code>  
 package consists  of a simple framework to support SOS functionality as well
as some 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; Windows2000</p>
