I don't know how to change his mind about subversion but, have him Google
for 'vss problems'. If after looking the results over he *still* want to use
vss then I don't know what to tell you.
The bottom line is Visual Source Safe is *not* *safe*. I have used it at
another company and we had nothing but problems with it. You might also note
that Microsoft has developed a new version control system. I doubt they are
going to maintain Visual Source Safe.
