I will concede that that is one of the more annoying things with LV. It frustrates me that LabVIEW is so hard to control by versions. I make updates to the code at home on my own computer, and, when I come back, I need to spend time integrating that with the actual standard code on our main programming computer. The backups onto 2 other computers and a flashdrive also get annoying, when, with a text-based language, it is much easier.

Agreed.
