We've got 3 or 4 programmers working on a project, and it's getting weird. We all share an ethernet, but there's no file server generally left on (we might change that). I think something along the lines of RCS or SCCS is what we need, but I'm not positive. I know that MKS has some such tools, but I don't know anything about them. I would like to hear about others and about actual experience with them. Are there GNU-ish versions (i.e. free)? -- Kevin O'Gorman ( kevin@kosman.UUCP, kevin%kosman.uucp@nrc.com ) voice: 805-984-8042 Vital Computer Systems, 5115 Beachcomber, Oxnard, CA 93035 Non-Disclaimer: my boss is me, and he stands behind everything I say.

It is not endorsed by FSF but it seems to work fine. You will need to get the RCS as well as the GNU diff. It doesn't work with the older version of the MKS diff. If your MKS diff supports the -n option however, it will work just fine. The RCS code can be anonymous ftped from ocf.berkeley.edu in the directory pub/GNU/rcs. The diff code can be gotten from the same site in the pub/GNU/gnuish-msdos directory. You will need to also upload looz212.exe from the pub/GNU/unpackers directory. If you need any further help, send me e-mail. Steve Madere steve@pkg.mcc.com
