I am looking for a successful port of the Revision Control System (RCS) for Apollos. I have the source, but the supplied rdiff (modified diff) memory faults causing 'ci' to fail. Any assistance in locating source would be appreciated. Dave Regis Software Engineer Intel Corp.

I don't know about the availability of source, but at SR10 and beyond RCS & Co. are provided in the /usr/new directory as unsupported but working software. The "rcsdiff" command there will probably solve your problem. Carl Davidson (508)256-6600 x5967 | The secret of life is enjoying Apollo Systems Divison, part of H-P | the passing of time ...

The Apollo 'diff' and 'diff3' can be used with RCS (at least on SR10.1 and SR10.2). Another option is to use the gnu diff. We use the Apollo diff here because, although the gnu diff has fewer bugs in general, the gnu diff has one bug that has shown up here on one source file. -- Van Gale Software Productivity Consortium gale@software.org sunny!gale@uunet.uu.net

Also, I had already tried using the system diff, but it didn't support the '-n' option being used by RCS. Anyway, I think I have it all working now -- thanks again for the response, Dave Regis
