Moving SNiFF+ project to new machine (x86 host)

I have a currently functioning build environment on an older PC for a
project within Tornado II / SNiFF+ and I am trying to move the tools
and application software to a newer host machine. (I have the tools
installed and licensed on the new machine.)

What is the easiest way to go about moving the SNiFF / Tornado
projects to the new machine?

I guessing that the easiest way to accomplish this is via a version
control tool, except that the project was started without using one.
We have a SourceSafe server but I am having problems getting that to
work for this project.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do not understand the problem.
As far as I understand there is a working PC where the project lives and
can be built and downloaded and where you can debug it.

If the new PC can execute Tornado and SNiFF+, then you should just copy
the project folder to the new PC and open the project file from within
SNiFF+.
There is a slight chande that you have set user speciffic settings,
which also have to be moved.
Those settings are stored in the file "SitePrefs.sniff.V0.45".

So I would do these steps:
1. Install Tornado
2. Install SNiFF+
3. Make sure all works nicely by testing the gizmo project
from the manual "Getting Started".
4. Copy settings of SNiFF+
5. Copy the project folder
6. Open the project from within the new SNiFF+ and test it.
7. Enjoy!

PS: The SNiFF+ installation comes with an RCS Version Control, which
could be better than using SourceSafe.

PS2: Please make sure to use SNiFF+ 4.2 CP2 for further use of the
Tornado - SNiFF+ Integration since the 4.1 integration has some flaws.

Hope it helps.

Anything, including using no RCS whatsoever, is better than using
SourceSafe!
