[comp.sys.next] NeXT OS2.0 and RCS

songer@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu (Christopher M Songer) (12/19/90)

Hi,
     I heard RCS under 1.0 was buggy. (Only 8 character file names?)
Can anyone speak to rcs under 2.0? Is it now usable?

Thanks,
Chris

RCS (Revision Control System) version 4 is included with 2.0.
Version 4 RCS can read version 3.x files but it writes files which
version 3 can't read.

More 2.0 tidbits:

* Version 4.8 of BIND is included
* Sun's PC-NFS daemon is included
* Version 4.1.1.1 of the tn3270 emulation program is included
* The latest login/ftpd/telnetd/telnet/ftp programs are included
* cpio is included
* shar is included

And the single best feature in NeXTstep 2.0?  You can press 'o' to
open a file in Edit when viewing it in 'more'...

I guess some people are still waiting for 'more' to get all the features of
'less'...

Coincidentally, here's a third opinion:
