Well, I've got my hot little hands on the source code for the original UNIX RCS system, and plan (in my copious spare time :-) to start porting it to the ST. Anyone have any suggestions/comments/etc. to make about conventions I should follow, or other, similar things? For example, I think that things are stored in RCS in the form <filename>.c,v which is fine for Unix, but...well, you know how the ST is. I'd planned to change this to <filename>.c_v Any objections?

I haven't had time to port it yet, but the code doesn't look like it will have to be changed at all (it was already altered to the Amiga Lattice C format, which looks just like GNU C, the compiler I'll use). Keep working on it, and keep in touch with me via E-mail so we can compare progress. --Jim Sisul The University of Kansas (I don't think I've expressed any opinions here, so why disclaim them?)

I'd planned > to change this to > <filename>.c_v I don't think this needs to be done. When unsharing the amiga files on the ST, everything with foo.c,v worked well. But we should consider what is to be done with long suffixes, i.e. foo.sh,v becomes foo.sh, , and what becomes of foo.bar,v ??? Anyway, it's good to hear about your efforts.
