I'm find myself every now and then losing a version of my program, through some stupid mistake, that RCS has always helped eliminate on UNIX. If I could find something like it for the PC, it would be fantastic. At my office, we recently purchased MKS RCS package, which is functionally identical to RCS under Unix. They solved the file-naming problem by creating an RCS directory and putting version files there [rather than the Unix ",v" suffix appended to file names]. It comes with diff, ed, ci, co, and a host of support utilities, including a really dumb mail (for notifying a user if someone else breaks one your lock on a file). It also works under Novell and can pick up your Login name and use that in the file. There may be other shareware/freeware/hacked-up-ports, but the MKS package is really professional and it works. [My only connection with MKS is as a satisfied customer.] ~~~Steve -- /************************************************* * *Steven Abrams abrams@cs.columbia.edu * **************************************************/ #include #include
