RCS knows how to prefix log messages with strings; if the `comment leader' RCS chooses is incorrect, you can set it directly with the `rcs' command. Even if that were not the case, one could write, e.g., : << \eof $Log$ eof (`\eof' in csh) although this is a kludge. [light camping stove] That said, I still think putting log messages in source files is wrong. The log messages (in SCCS, delta messages) belong in the RCS file.

Our system is considering going to rcs (Revision Control System) for source code control. The big problem at this point is that the only documentation we have at this point is the "man" pages, which are just a start, and don't really cover the concepts, details, or provide a tutorial. Could somebody, anybody out there point me to some good doc- umentation on rcs? John F. O'Brien

The RCS source, that I pulled from one of the archives (probably gatekeeper.dec.com) had a nice tutorial that I could probably send you if you can't find it. A much shorter tutorial can be found in the BSD 4.3 Unix Programmer's Manual Supplementary Documents 1.

If the referred tutorial is rcs.ms, problem is that it requires pic to format it, and a lot of sites (including ours) don't have pic, which is AT&T commercial software. Does anybody have a postscript version of rcs.ms available for ftp'ing? -- Ralph Finch The opinions expressed herein are mine... ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch 916-445-0088

Would someone kindly mail me instructions on locating a version of RCS that installs nicely on recent flavors of ATT Unix? My specific target is an IBM PS/2 running AIX. My copy was old and while I managed to get it compiled, I fear I have damaged some of the advanced features. Thanks in advance. -- Jack K. Cohen jkc@dix.mines.colorado.edu

I just "inherited" a large 'C' software system which was previously maintained with RCS. Well, I found RCS, FTP'd it, and compiled it--now what do I do with it??? It came with no docs at all; I would greatly appreciate *any* help anyone can give me on this thing!
