Unix tools and PH Source code

Dear PowerHouse list.

This is a question for the folks out there who use PowerHouse on a unix 
platform (HP-UX preferable, but this question may apply more widely than 
that).  Do you use any of the unix tools for maintaining your PH source 
code? Specifically, what do you use for source-code versioning and mass 
compiles?  

Our unix programmers here use a freeware tool called cvs. Does anyone 
know if the cvs tools work with PH source code? How about make? Could I 
set up a makefile to recompile all the quick screens for a given 
dictionary, for example?

The reason I ask is that we're in the process of planning our migration 
from the HP3000, and I need to find out if the tools that we currently 
have will work or if we need to find other solutions.

Thanks!
