ObjectCycle is specifically tuned to provide seamless version control for PowerBuilder 5.0 objects and more sophisticated features and integration into the PowerBuilder development environment in the future. 

ObjectCycle may be selected as the source management provider through the normal source management configuration dialog in the PowerBuilder 5.0 Library painter.

Folders and names allow one to construct a hierarchical namespace of arbitrary complexity, generally intended to map intuitively to a namespace within a given development environment.  Users may wish to avoid folders altogether and use a flat naming scheme for all of their objects, or partition their objects into meaningful folders and subfolders, much as one might organize his/her desktop into folders and sub-folders.

A name ultimately resolves to an entity or object, which in turn may have one or more versions.  Each version may have an arbitrary number of links to any other version; these links allow for the establishing of relationships between versions (such as the ancestor-descendent relationship inferred through check-out/check-in).
