Our internal document repository allows users to edit their documents and
send them back to the server. It required about 1000 lines of Perl (which
will drop by 25-50% or so in my next revision :)) and 100 actual lines or so
of Visual C++ (but the number of automatically generated lines!...). It
supports versioning of documents, with automatic retrieval of old versions
coming as soon as I have time to write the simple CGI script. I wouldn't
even have needed the Visual C++ except for the lack of a "submit this whole
file" widget in Microsoft Windows WWW browsers.
