PJ is a simple source file manager for use on moderate size software projects
(20 - 5,000 source files) utilizing a shared project library with 1-20
programmers.
PJ is intended to solve the following problems:
Avoid costly collisions between programmers modifying the same file.
Eliminate programmer maintenance when extracting and adding files from and
to a library.
Prevent loss of work by maintaining multiple versions of the same file in a
library. Older versions of the same file can be retrieved.
What PJ provides:
* Library check out control - only one programmer can have a source file
out for modification at a time.
* Automatic updating of Make and Library command files - when the
programmer puts a new module into the library, the Make and Library
command files can be automatically updated
* Automatic insertion/removal with the programmers Make file(s) - when the
programmer removes a source file from a library, the programmers
local Make file is updated to allow the programmer to modify the file
and reference it in their local directory. When the file is put back
in the library, the local Make file is updated to remove the file.
Additional files can be deleted from the local directory.
* Automatic "BAK" versions of up to 1000 files per library - PJ allows you
to keep up to 1000 "bak" versions of library files per library.
Sample configuration files are provided (PJ.DIR and PJ.CFG) that were used on
a project defined in the manual (PJ.MAN).
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
