    public abstract class MSVSS
    extends Task
    implements MSVSSConstants

A base class for creating tasks for executing commands on Visual SourceSafe.

The class extends the 'exec' task as it operates by executing the ss.exe program supplied with SourceSafe. By default the task expects ss.exe to be in the path, you can override this be specifying the ssdir attribute.

This class provides set and get methods for 'login' and 'vsspath' attributes. It also contains constants for the flags that can be passed to SS.

### Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
`static class` `MSVSS.CurrentModUpdated` Extension of EnumeratedAttribute to hold the values for file time stamp.
`static class` `MSVSS.WritableFiles` Extension of EnumeratedAttribute to hold the values for writable filess.
