Several people have sent me corrections about my information on RCCS.
The new listing on RCS is below, thanks to Paul Eggert for correcting
me and supplying the additional information.

RCS:  Similar to SCCS.  They both require a lot of scripts to make
life easier on the developer.  I don't have the time to create that
many scripts, but several people have already written wrappers. It
does have most of features that I like in DSEE, however, they are
harder to use.  When I get the time to switch my project over, it
will probably be to this.  It's out of Perdue and the source is
available on the GNU distribution.  A nice side effect of this is that
it has been ported all over the place and is free.

    Several people have published RCS wrappers, so you don't have to
    write a lot of scripts if you want to reuse their work.  Perhaps
    the best known are Brian Berliner's CVS 1.2 and Dick Grune's
    CVS 3.0.  Berliner started from Grune's work, and they are now
    two different programs.  I haven't tried either one yet.

    RCS is available via anonymous FTP from several sources:

    site                filename
    archive.cs.ruu.nl   /pub/GNU/rcs-5.5.tar.Z
    cs.purdue.edu       pub/RCS/rcs.5_5.tar.Z
    prep.ai.mit.edu     pub/gnu/rcs-5.5.tar.Z
    uunet.uu.net        gnu/rcs-5.5.tar.Z

    It works best with GNU diff 1.15; look for diff-1.15.tar.Z.
    Look for CVS 1.2 in cvs-1.2.tar.Z at MIT.
    Look for CVS 3.0 at RUU (I don't know the file name).


Again, please let me know if I've messed anything up or am missing any
good programs.  I'm always on the lookout for something else
interesting.
