    We have a moderate sized project -- two "programs" whose source trees are
    ~90 MB and ~50 MB -- that runs on an embedded Real-Time Linux platform in a
    737 aircraft.. We have 4 developers whose workstations are not connected by
    any network and cannot be connected by network, email, or any other
    networking. The "only" connectivity we have is to manually transport 100 MB
    ZIP disks between sites. We've pretty successfully managed this by ad hoc
    means since 1996 but two recent configuration control problems have
    highlighted the need for something more formal as the system is still
    growing.

    As a rule, I am the only programmer for the 90 MB application and there are
    two main programmers (and one sometime alternate) for the smaller system.
    We have adopted the convention that the target computer always contains the
    "official" code but we do most of our development on PCs in more comfortable
    environments and transport "updates" to the airplane, debug the new code
    there, and distribute debugged/corrected versions of the software back to
    our development PCs.

    I'm hoping to find some sort of VCS that allows us to easily exchange
    updates and fixes between the various locations. I'd appreciate
    suggestions, links, URLs, magazine and book references, and sincere
    expressions of sympathy.
