[comp.unix.questions] SCCS for DOS

jim@aob.aob.mn.org (Jim Anderson) (06/20/89)

Is there anybody supplying SCCS for a PC running DOS?  I am using
SCCS on UNIX and XENIX and would like to make the SCCS files available
on DOS for history and changes.  If it needs to use an SCCS front
end, that would be find, as long as it accepted the UNIX SCCS file
format (obviously the s. file needs a name change, but that could be
in a separate directory).  If SCCS is not available, is there an
equivalent available that would run under SUNOS 3.x, SUNOS4.x, HP-UX,
DOS, and Altos XENIX?  SCCS at least hits 4 of the 5 systems.  Source
availability would be a plus if it is not SCCS.  Also, some means of
converting the existing SCCS files (with history for about 200000 lines
of code and documentation) would be needed.  Thanks for any help.

I don't know...

Consider RCS?  I believe that MKS RCS (By Mortice Kern Systems, Inc)
works on DOS.  RCS exists on HP-UX.  I'm pretty sure that SUN has
RCS somewhere on it.  That leaves the question of Xenix and I don't
have any references for that.

The program "sccstorcs" is usually available on systems that have RCS,
usually as "contributed" software.  You should find the program on HP-UX.

Considering MKS's products tend to be UNIX-style utilities for DOS, I
think that's a safe bet....

I'm pretty sure it doesn't; I have a Sun and used to work there, and it
ain't in SunOS.  If you get the Version 4 source from Purdue or whatever
(no, I don't know the details of how to get it - if you have 4.3-tahoe
source, it comes with it, in the "/usr/src/new/rcs" directory), it runs
under SunOS.

If you get the source, it should be possible to make it run under Xenix.

And, for the benefit of the person who asked for the source, you can
also find it in the 4.3-tahoe source (in "sccstorcs.c" in
"/usr/src/new/rcs/src").
