Hi all,
I had an overwhelming response to my question ( original follow at end )
and want to thank each and everybody who responded ( To many names to
mention but they know who they are.)
Everybody advised to use the GNU ( freeware ) utilities, CVS as
front-end to RCS, which is easier to use that SCCS. Also something to
look at is TCCS and the O'Reilly & associates (ora.com) book on RCS &
SCCS. TCCS is a tool set developed and explained in the book also based
on RCS.
One answer received suggested :
check out 'Razor' from Tower Concepts (www.tower.com).
Their s/w is not free, but worth every penny!
I will though look at the GNU stuff first.
Many places to download from:
http://www.gnu.org ,
ftp.redhat.com ,
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/ ,
ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/ ,
ftp://download.cyclic.com/pub/cvs-@VERSION@/cvs-@VERSION@.tar.gz ,
www.cyclic.com has a number of useful links and good explanations.
Also some faq's available:
Check out http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/cvs-FAQ/cvsfaq3.html for more
details.
Thanx again to everybody and a great mailing list. Great to have so many
friends at your finger tips. Catch you later on the net.
Just another SUN friend.
