Has anyone gotten a new version of rcs working on the cube? The version that is distributed with the cube is 3.1 (83/04/04), and won't handle file names longer than about 16 characters. I got 4.11 (89/5/1) and installed it on my Sun3 with no problems. It handles long file names fine. However, when I tried to compile it on my cube, I got some compile errors that I didn't really understand. Pat McGee, jpm@lanl.gov

I don't remember it being very difficult to set up. Ah. Looking at it, my version just claims to be version 4. I guess that means 4.0. Last touch on the sources is December 6, 1988. I didn't change any of the source files. Here's a cc line from the make output: cc -O -DV4_2BSD -bsd -DSIGNAL_TYPE=int -DSTRICT_LOCKING=1 -DDIFF='"/bin/diff"' -DCO='"/usr/bin/co"' -DMERGE='"/usr/bin/merge"' Note that ordinarily signal() is defined as void on the NeXT, but you need the "-bsd" flag to get a lot of the code compiled, and setting that also gets you the int definition instead. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
