what exactly is the source safe used for
Source control. It means that:
1) You can see who's done what
2) You can go back to previous versions of files
3) You can label a specific version, and fetch that version across a
whole project
4) You can share files between different projects
5) Lots of developers can work on the same codebase without having to
manually send each other the files they've changed
6) You can lose all your code due to VSS database corruption
As you can probably tell by the last point, I'm far from a fan of
SourceSafe - there are better source control systems out there
