Scenario: Two people working on writing a book. Each chapter is stored in a
separate file. Only one person works on a given chapter at any one time;
they trade off. The two people are at opposite ends of the country; their
Unix systems communicate via uucp only. Each one needs to see the changes
the other has made.
Wanted: An way of sending updates both directions automatically.
If we had a TCP/IP connection between the hosts we could use
"/usr/ucb/rdist -y" at each end, but we are stuck with only using uucp
between these particular hosts. (Both are Sun systems running SunOS-4.0.3)
Someone mentioned that ATT has something like this as part of the programmer's
workbench. If this is true, what is the exact name of the package, and how
do I order it.
Are there any public domain packages that I could use?
As usual, please send e-mail, as I don't read comp.sources.wanted very often.
