| 26 | This directory contains complete sources for version 4 of RCS. | |
| 27 | Version 3 was included in the 4.3 BSD distribution. Features include: | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | 1) Version 4 supports the "branch" keyword. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | 2) Numerous bug fixes. In addition, RCS now runs on many more machine | |
| 32 | architectures, including Suns (3.x and 4.0), VAXen (4.2 and 4.3 BSD), | |
| 33 | and IBM PC-ATs (Xenix). | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | 3) Version 4 is backward compatible with version 3. Version 4 RCS will | |
| 36 | handle files checked in under version 3 (but not vice versa). | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | 4) This distribution is not supported in anyway. However, bugs and | |
| 39 | (especially) bug fixes may be reported to rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | 5) Older versions of diff do not support options used by RCS. It is | |
| 42 | known that 4.3 BSD, and SunOS 3.2 (and later releases) support the | |
| 43 | needed options. If your version of diff does not support these | |
| 44 | options, obtain the GNU diff from the FSF. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | under teh terms of the GNU General Public License. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | 7) All sources for RCS are contained in the "src" subdirectory. Read the | |
| 49 | directions in its Makefile to set up the correct compile options for | |
| 50 | building RCS on your system. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | 8) man pages reside in man. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | 9) Troff source for the paper "RCS A System for Version Control", which | |
| 55 | appeared in Software Practice and Experience, can be found in "rcs.ms". |
