Pharmacy Sig use of Subversion
Basics
Subversion is a version control system. All pharmacy source materials are now held in this.
The repository is held at http://svn.hl7.nscee.edu/svn/hl7v3/pharmacysig and under this root you will find folders for PORX and POME, the two subject domains that Pharmacy SIG looks after.
Files held in subversion can be on the main developemnt path, in which case they will be in the Trunk folder, or they may be in a Branch folder if they are a branch off the main development path.
You can investigate this folder structure with any intenet browser. Just follow the above link.
Subversion Software

Once you have this client installed you can y=use Microsoft File Explorer to get access ti files in subversion.
