VOODOO Personal (Versions Of Outdated Documents Organized Orthogonally) is astand-alone version control tool, with a neat graphical user interface.

Itoffers simple and clear access for managing projects in which files evolvein numerous versions. The tool manages not only variants and revisions ofsingle files, but of whole software projects (multiple files, multipleusers, multiple variants, access rights, project structure, projecthistory, etc.).

VOODOO differs from previous source code control systems in its orthogonalapproach to version management. This means that for every component of aproject hierarchy, you can not only store its revision history, but alsodifferent variants of the same component.

The orthogonal organization ofrevisions and variants leads to a much clearer arrangement than in othertools which use trees for organizing variants and revisions.

VOODOO uses delta storage for storing different versions, which canyield savings of about 95% (up to 99%). It is not restricted to text filesbut also handles files of arbitrary type (desktop publishing documents,databases, libraries, applications, etc.)
