I'm trying to use the sccs command as a front end to the Source Code Control Programs as described in the man pages. Something seems to be wrong though: sccs get abstract.tex sccs SYSERR: cannot execute /usr/bin/get No such file or directory sccs exists and lives in /usr/ucb ls -l /usr/ucb/sccs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 38215 Jun 8 1990 /usr/ucb/sccs get exists and lives in /usr/bin ls -l /usr/bin/get -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 54281 Feb 2 1990 /usr/bin/get Similar problems occur with admin(1), help(1), etc. etc. Am I being dense or is something not right? Other, wiser Apollo users around here think something's not right! Your suggestions, please. I'm using Domain/OS 10.3 with the BSD 4.3 setup. I remember using this under 10.2 (?) with no problems.

Then your get command should be "get s.abstract.tex", which will retrieve a copy of abstract.tex for you. This is a common sccs fingerslip on any sccs system, not just Apollos. Hope this helps.

(Apollo part number was 005800-A00.) This command is a front end that prepends the 's.' for you. -- Scott Colwell person who has no private phone extension but does have his own net address Labtam Australia Pty.
