>1.  Must be able to work with Patrol, JAVA, C, C++, SQL scripts

I don't know what Patrol is.

In practice, there's more renames and moves in Java than in other languages.
These ops are a pain in CVS.

I've seen no problems with other file types.

>2.  Access to source controlled thru policies so developers only have access
>to the source they use

Use file permissioning for such things.

>3.  Version control with ability to rollback to previous versions easily

Yes.

>4.  Must be able to work with UNIX and NT

Yes!

>5.  Must have a GUI interface

Yes (various frontends exist).

>6.  Must have a command line interface

Yes.

>7.  Must have tracking and reporting capability to determine who has what
>and for how long

If you use the edit feature.

>8.  Authentication by strong passwords or a digital certificate

Use SSH.

>9.  Must maintain an audit trail of source changes

Yes.

>10. Must have encrypted communication between the client and the repository

Use SSH.

>11. Source needs to be signed out to only one person

Only if all developers adhere to the rules.  Typically there's no need to have
tools strictly enforce this.  Look for discussions on reserved locks.
