The way it works is I keep a directory called .history in some easily-found location; when I edit a clear-text file, the package automagically does a 'get' on the corresponding SCCS file in the .history directory and does a 'delta' when I kill the buffer (after asking me to enter a Comment). The package does its stuff automatically by replacing the key bindings for find-file and kill-buffer. It has lots of customization capability also. Since it is rather large, I'd rather not post it, but if you are interested, E-mail to me. If I get a large response, I'll post. -- Bill Leonard Harris Computer Systems Division 2101 W.
