This small CASE SCC package was written mainly (in the software
trenches) for low level detail liaison between the programmer and
management. I feel that both programmers and management have a
dire need for more visibility and exact change reporting down to
the line and sometime (nitty bitty) charter detail. I believe this
package has a very low level control and visibility that seems to
be missing in the more expensive CASE software control packages.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
----------------------
Users of SCC must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"SCC is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The

Installing SCC
--------------
Software Change Control (SCC)
THIS DISK SHOULD CONTAIN ALL OF THE FOLLOWING FILES:
executable SCC product
------------------------------------------
o scc. exe
the following files are in DOS Text format
------------------------------------------
o invoice. scc SCC order form
o readme. scc this file
o doc. scc overview
sample files for tutorial and demo
------------------------------------------
o sample. bat sample long log build (batch demo)
o sample. v1 sample data version 1, used for demo
o sample. v2 sample data version 2, used for demo
o reg_log. scc sample registered log used for demo
For a floppy based SCC system: Text and data files should
fit on one floppy diskette. Please make a backup copy of the
SCC system that way you will have a backup available if problem
should occur.
For a hard disk SCC system: Create a sub directory called "SCC"
with the command
C:> MD SCC <enter>
Then change the current directory (CD) to "SCC" and use the
copy command
C:> CD SCC <enter>
C:> COPY A:*.* C: <enter>
A path (best in autoexec.bat) should be set for SCC, this will
allow you to run SCC from any directory. For example, if SCC
files are located on disk C: and in the subdirectory \SCC then
type
PATH C:\SCC <enter>
To start the program (as interactive menu mode) type
C:> SCC <enter>
SCC can also be run as batch mode by typing for (batch) help
C:> SCC / <enter>
or follow the below BATCH format
Between {} are optional
LOG_BUILD -------------------------
OPTIONS = /LO,{G#},{*},{E},{C},{W},{N}
GROUP_MATCH 2..6 = ----|| | | | | |
SELECT_ALL = ---------| | | | |
* STRIP_END_WHITE = -------------| | | |
* IGNORE_CASE = -----------------| | |
* IGNORE_WHITE = ---------------------| |
* IGNORE_NUMBERS = -------------------------|
LONG_LOG_BUILD = /LL,old-master,new-master,{log-name}
MEDIUM_LOG_BUILD = /LM,old-master,new-master,{log-name}
CRUNCH_LOG_BUILD = /LC,old-master,new-master,{log-name}
UTILITIES \n");
NUMBER FILE = /UN,in-file,{out-file}
VIEW = /V,{log},{your-editor}
for example, to build a LONG Log with /lo,c,w options and a view
type in the following.
C:> SCC /LO,C,W /LL,sample.v1,sample.v2 /V <enter>
Or the batch file "sample.bat" can be run as a demo, type in
C:> sample <enter>
To number a file for reference with a view, type in the following.
C:> SCC /UN,sample.v1 /V <enter>

WARNING: Before installing this or ANY new software, you
should BACK UP any valuable data on your computer system. SCC has
been extensively tested, and it is believed to be very reliable.
However, software is one of the most complicated kind of product
there is. So you are completely responsible for determining the
fitness or usability of this package.
DEFINITION OF 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.
SCC is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using SCC and continue to use
SCC after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment to Walter Erickson (Softime Systems). The
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just
like a book. An example is that this software may be used by
any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of SCC must register and pay for their
copies of SCC within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
tacting Walter Erickson (Softime Systems).
Anyone distributing SCC for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Walter Erickson (Softime Systems) for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
SCC immediately (However Walter Erickson of Softime Systems must
still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date
with the latest version of SCC.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of SCC along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the SCC system.
