Thanks for the feedback. Interesting. The UNIX dependence was one of my main gripes. I had some workarounds but figured a clean-slate model or retrofit of cross-platform SCM was better. I still wanted to eventually meet and get insight from the author on such a project. Too bad he died. (sighs)
Back to clean-slate or retrofit of alternative as I figure Aegis might be too complex to use for such a project if main mind behind it isn't available. Still, they get credit for doing a lot of things right.
