Attributed File System

storage (AtFS) The basis of the Shape_VC toolkit.

Cooperative work within projects is supported by a status

model controlling visibility of version objects, locking, and

"long transactions" for synchronising concurrent updates. The

concept of object attributes provides a basis for storing

management information with versions and passing this

information between individual tools. This mechanism is

useful for building integrated environments from a set of

unrelated tools.
