This area contains RCS, Revision Control System. This is a tool along the lines of SCCS or DEC CMS which allows maintenance of numbers of source files, versioning, and control of shared development. (It is also the basis for CVS, the Concurrent Versioning System, elsewhere on these tapes.) Also included is Gnu DIFF, a differences tool needed for RCS. For a 4.35 minute install for vms without reading any instructions, look at setup.com in the [.install] subdirectory.

Version 3 was included in the 4.3 BSD distribution. Features include: 1) Version 4 supports the "branch" keyword. 2) Numerous bug fixes. In addition, RCS now runs on many more machine architectures, including Suns (3.x and 4.0), VAXen (4.2 and 4.3 BSD), and IBM PC-ATs (Xenix). 3) Version 4 is backward compatible with version 3. Version 4 RCS will handle files checked in under version 3 (but not vice versa). 4) This distribution is not supported in anyway. However, bugs and (especially) bug fixes may be reported to rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu. 5) Older versions of diff do not support options used by RCS. It is known that 4.3 BSD, and SunOS 3.2 (and later releases) support the needed options. If your version of diff does not support these options, obtain the GNU diff from the FSF. If you use the GNU diff, it is necessary to change the setting of MERGE in the Makefile in the src directory. 6) RCS is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The VMS port was done by Rich Gregory Commonwealth Clinical Systems 1650 State Farm BLVD. Charlottesville VA 22901 804-977-0000 If you find a bug, please send it to me and I will see if I recognize it. My work was done with the VMS C compiler, not the GNU VMS C compiler. The original unix code is available by ftp from purdue. I had no difficult technical problems with the port. All credit should go to purdue who did 99.99% of the work. rich gregory 7-dec-90 To install for vms: ------------------- Move the EXE and COM files mentioned in [.install]setup.com to an accessible directory and edit setup.com accordingly.
