- SCCS - Source Code Control System
- (C) 1989. C. Pravetz
- All rights reserved.
-
-
- This Source Code Control System is designed to manage libraries of source
- code created within a multiprogrammer environment.
-
- Libraries are created for each program you are developing; and within each
- library, SCCS maintains a copy of the latest five versions of each source
- code file. The libraries are maintained with PKZip and PKUnZip, products
- of Phil Katz, which must be registered with Mr. Katz.
-
- Like a real library, SCCS permits programmers to "check out" a source file
- for maintainance, and excludes others from using that file until it is
- returned. In addition, SCCS permits users to extract copies of all the
- latest source modules in order to create a compilable program, logs
- modules back in if no changes were made, and maintains a log of all
- activity for each library.
-
- SCCS' commands are simple; you can use command line parameters or let SCCS
- prompt you. Run SCCS without any command line parameters and SCCS will
- display a list of the commands that are currently available.
-
- SCCS creates several files:
-
- SCCS.INF - SCCS' database
- SCCS.INX - index to database
- Library.ZIP - The Zipfile of source code for Library.
- Library.SLG - Log file of Library activity.
-
- Two caveats!
- First, when you have two source files with the same name but different
- extensions, SCCS will confuse the backup versions. Secondly, If you have
- any source files with the extension .BK?, SCCS will likewise get confused.
- This is because SCCS maintains backup copies of your source modules as
- *.BK1, *.BK2, *.BK3 and *.BK4.
-
- If you have questions or comments about SCCS, please contact me through
- Exec-PC or CompuServe (72657,2530).
-
- Registration of this product is required for use in any commercial
- enterprise, corporation or for-profit activity.
-
- Send a registration fee of $30.00 to:
-
- P. Pravetz
- 133 Meadowbrook Drive
- Bethel Park, PA 15102
-
-
- (By the way, updates will include features to vary the number of backup
- versions, create incremental change files instead of full versions, and
- automatically cut off archives at version changes in your programs.)
