I was thinking of bringing it up RCS on Minix (I'm using it with gnu diff on a number of Unix machines). I'm using MKS RCS on Ms/Dos with excellent results and looked into recompiling RCS for ms/dos (no real problem). The big problem seems to be lack of a compatible diff -- which diff are you using? Is there a RCS compatible diff/diff3 which runs on Minix? Gnu diff (I recalls) operates on the files in core -- this is not practical on 8086 architectures (and has problems without virtual or huge physical memory). I also feel Minix badly needs a version control system -- I feel the current method of publishing sizes leaves too much to be desired. With all the postings, I find I spend a lot of time diffing and looking at files to see what's new and what's different and what's changed. Does RCS sound like a good platform to use for source control? marty ARPA: leisner.henr@xerox.com GV: leisner.henr NS: martin leisner:wbst139:xerox UUCP: hplabs!arisia!leisner
