Versioning with Visual Source Safe without Visual Studio

I have some reports developed using Crystal Reports 12 and I want to version it using Visual Source Safe but I don't use Visual Studio. Is there a way I can do this without VS or do I have t开发者_Python百科o install VS in order to version my CR reports?

Installing the Visual Sourcesafe client should be sufficient.

You might want to check out (no pun intended) other Source Controls. We have been using Visual Sourcesafe for several years without any hickups but it is not considered the most performant or even trusthworthy Source Control solution.
