This article was previously published under Q131956

SUMMARY

The SourceSafe Macintosh product is a command-line-only tool. Therefore, the SourceSafe executables cannot be run from Finder; they must be run from Macintosh Programmers Workshop (MPW) or ToolServer.

MORE INFORMATION

To run SSADMIN on the Macintosh:
  1. Start MPW or ToolServer. (See your documentation on these tools for information on how to set them up.)
  2. Set the Directory to the SourceSafe Mac folder where the Macintosh version of SSADMIN is located.

    For example, on MPW, set the directory to "HD:srcsafe:mac:" where 'HD' is the drive, 'srcsafe' is the SourceSafe folder, and 'mac' is the Macintosh subfolder.
  3. Run SSADMIN.
  4. You are presented with a menu of options.
