Sorry Steve, The British Coputer Society have a Configuration Management Specialist Group which is doing work in this area. They held a seminar and tools fair at Heathrow recently. I will try and find out the web address for the group and post it later. Newsgroups such as comp.document.management are also dealing with tis issue and may be a little more relevent. It may be that a comp.config.management group would be useful but that may depend on what others think. A good book is "Configuration Management" by Marion Kelly published by McGraw Hill ISBN 0 07 707977 9 (hardback) UKP 29.95. To obtain direct from the author you can call +44 (0)1252-851448.
