The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SourceSafe for Macintosh, versions 3.04, 3.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
