I've been beating on the DOSRCS stuff that came through here awhile back and I appear to be having a couple problems. 1) gnudiff (I have version 1.14 ported to turbo c) dies on files that are still pretty small. I don't think that diff'ing a file that is 70000 bytes to be a real stretch of the imagination, but I geuss it is. 2) I have approx 100 or so source files, and when I checked out about 7 or so and did an 'rlog -L *.c' to see if rlog knew which ones were out, it died ungracefully after spitting out most of the appropriate information. I would like to start using UNIX flavoured tools, but I can't afford MKS! I really wish that I could! $595 for the programmers platform is probably the steal of the century, but it's about $400 out of my current price range. I'm trying to get out of credit card debt... Anyway, has anybody beat on gnudiff and/or RCS to get it to work a bit better in the MESSY-DOS environment? Oh ya, has someone fixed ELVIS so that it leaves the colors alone when it exits? Has someone fixed the screen driver so that it is faster? I mean a full screen re-paint should NOT drop my 386/20 to it's knees. How 'bout unlimited file size??? tima@agora.rain.com Help stamp out programs that use environment variables in our lifetime. Brief is the perfect example of how NOT to design a program w/respect to this. Any program that leaves a computer in a different state than when it started should be destroyed.
