My beloved VAXStation is being forced (against its will) to run Ultrix (yuck) rather than its old favourite - VMS. I have a reasonable volume of both code and documentation stored under DEC's code management system (CMS) and I am trying to find a comparable delta storage system that runs under Ultrix. The sort of features that I would (ideally) like to see in a delta storage system are: o Ability to extract old versions of deltas. o Ability to group together a number of versions of individual files as a single logical unit (e.g. CLASSES under CMS) and to be able to extract all the files in the unit with minimal effort. o Ability to have variants of the stored files. o Ability to insert textual comments when any action is performed on the managed set of files. I would be grateful for any information of individuals knowledge/experience of delta storage systems under UNIX + some idea of cost and supplier. P.S. I have taken a brief look at SCCS and wasn't over impressed. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Who: Dave Lumby | | Where: RT3121, Room G44, SSTF, British Telecom Research Labs, | | Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, IP5 7RE, UK. | | Phone: +44 473 642613 | | E mail: dlumby@axion.bt.co.uk | | Quote: "" <-- Waits for a period of inspiration | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
