- NAME
- rcsdos - introduction to DOS port of RCS
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The DOS version of RCS provides most of the facilities of
- the Unix version. It does require a working "diff" program -
- GNU diff is recomended.
-
- Differences between DOS and UNIX versions
- The rcsmerge command is not implemented (because of the lack
- of a DOS equivalent to the Unix merge command).
-
- RCS files have the same name as working files, but are
- stored in the RCS subdirectory of the working directory. The
- RCS subdirectory MUST be created manually before using RCS
- for the first time.
-
- Rcsfreeze files are stored in the RCSFREEZ subdirectory of
- the working directory, and are called "version" and "log"
- instead of "rcsfreeze.version" and "rcsfreeze.log".
-
- Logging is strict by default.
-
- RCS uses the environment variable "USR" to determine the
- user's "login name". If USR is not set, the the default name
- "ROOT_DOS" is used.
