[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] RCS for MS-DOS

papa@pollux.usc.edu (Marco Papa) (10/10/90)

I'm trying to find out if there is a PD version available of the RCS source
control system software for MS DOS (I know there are such PD versions for Amiga
for example). If there is such a beast, I'd appreciate finding out where
it is available for download through FTP.  I do know that there are commercial
versions of RCS (MKS's version, for example).

I found it at WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU (128.252.135.4) in
/usenet/comp.binaries.ibm.pc/volume7 but it comes without a diff program.
So I when looking again and found the gnudiff from the same site but
my machine just hangs when diff runs. Could someone please straighten
me out.

I believe the gnuish DOS archive at ocf.berkeley.edu has this stuff in
pub/GNU/gnudos...

Try looking in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  I believe that I saw RCS there less than
6 weeks ago.

I do not know what verson of diff you got but the following from a
comp.binaries.ibm.pc posting might help.

    Posting-number: Volume 07, Issue 166
    Submitted-by: rb@cc.imperial.ac.uk
    Archive-name: gnudiff2/part01

    I got several versions of gnudiff, but this is the only one so far
    which runs after decoding it.

    The submitter says:

    This is the uuencoded version of GNU diff.exe for MSDOS
    I have used LZEXE to compress the executable by about a
    third. I have removed the previous restriction on file
    size, but not yet incorporated the paged output via
    pipes. Perhaps those that want source of patches etc.
    could suggest where these should be posted.
