ABSTRACT:
A file storage section stores source files without duplication. A management information storage section stores management information for managing the relationship between each program version and source files used by it and the sharing relationship between each source file and other program versions that share it. When a source file is read and then edited, a storage method determining section determines whether or not the version series of the source file is to be divided. When the source file is to be stored without dividing its version series, a storage processing section stores the results of edition in the file storage section as an update version of the same series as the original source file. When it is to be stored with its version series divided, the version series is divided and the source file is stored as a new version series. A management information control section updates the management information when the source file is stored.
