Version Control for Non-Geeks

There are two nice little freeware Windows apps that let you selectively perform version control on your documents. These are ideal for people who are clueless about Visual SourceSafe, CVS and Subversion.

DocShield and FileHamster are freeware. DocShield is free for personal and non-commercial use only, while FileHamster offers a pro version for peeps who are willing to pay for extra functionality.

While not offering check-in/check-out functionality, they do give you version control, which is handy enough for a lot of people. People who like to use that application that shall remain nameless might also find that it could be useful for managing versions of cube and framework models.
