For the curious, after going round and round on this, we've settled back 
onto "good old CVS." The "concurrent" aspect is a problem for us but we've 
found that "most of the time" we each have our own turf (and files) so 
overlaps should occur rarely and truly concurrent edits should be even more 
rare (we hope).
     We looked at "subversion" (suggested here) and it looks even better, but 
does quite a bit more than we actually need.
     A "test bed" using CVS is now up and running and we've gone through a 
couple of preliminary rounds of edits and commits and everything looks right.
     Thanks for the suggestions -- "subversion" is now in my sights and I'm 
sure it'll get used in a future effort.
