[DUG] History Tabs?

[Kyley Harris]

The biggest use was removing the starteam plugin, because I dont use
it, along with together etc. Also I managed to make it start in 6
seconds instead of 35seconds. on a 3ghz machine, with your
configuration tool.

I said forcibly because these options are not on Delphi itself.


I am looking at mantis, because it is free. adaptable, and web based,
with the allowance of client interaction without extra costs.

StartTeam is a good stable product..... but its BIG. I like to keep
things as light as practicible.

regards
  Kyley.
