What is Keep-It?
Keep-It is like a
cross between Winzip on steroids, and a revision control system that
doesn't require check-in/check-outs. All this, and there are no
new applications to start, and no new user interfaces to learn.
If you can use Windows, you can use Keep-It!
You create a Keep-It 'archive' in the same way you create a folder.
In fact, Keep-It archives behave just like folders. You can browse
them, place files and folders in them (using the Explorer's normal
drag-and-drop / cut-and-paste mechanisms), and move them
(e.g. put them on a floppy/CD to give to someone else).
When you add a file or folder to an archive, you are really adding the
current 'revision' of it. From now on, you can instruct the archive to
maintain additional revisions with a single click.

Keep-It archives contain multiple revisions of the files
and folders you add to them.
You still work on the original files and folders, but now you've a frozen
record of any previous revision.

Revisions are grouped together
under what Keep-It calls 'snapshots'. A snapshot is a time-stamped
collection of revisions. Whenever you instruct the archive to create a
new 'snapshot', it looks at the latest revision of all the contained files
and folders. If any latest revision is not up-to-date, a new revision is added to the archive.
