I introduced a file some time ago into SCCS called xyz.c,
now I want to change it's name to abc.c - how is it done?
I would like to keep the file history - so SCCS will give
me the right file depending on which version I retrieve.
Thank you in advance

You should just mv s.xyz.c s.abc.c. If you used SCCS keywords in your file to internally identify the program, when you do the next get -e or get -k you will see the new program name.

Try: mv s.xyz.c s.abc.c You will always get the right file (ie: the text for any version and the file history will be correct) but from now on, the name will be "abc.c" regardless of which version you request. To my knowledge, the name of the retrieved file is always the same as the s-file with the leading "s." removed. I don't believe there is any way within SCCS to cause different versions to be gotten into different file names. If this is what you want, a "front end" program to SCCS may be your only alternative. Another alternative would be to create (admin) a new file: s.abc.c with the first version (delta) the same as the last delta of the s.xyz.c file. If you MUST change the file name for future releases but maintain the old file name for old releases, I tend to lean toward this solution.

All you have to do is rename that file "s.abc.c" and you're done. -- * Douglas Wells [ "I think, therefore I think I am" ] * * Bellmail: 206-865-4660 * * Email: {uunet, uw-beaver!ssc-vax!shuksan!tahoma} ! bcstec ! sleepy ! wells * * Slugmail: Boeing Computer Services, P.O.Box 24346 MS:7M-44, Seattle WA 98124 *
