Meriden, Connecticut, June 30, 1993 - Software Services and Solutions, Inc.,
Announces DRCS CASE Tool for NEXTSTEP and Unix
Software Services and Solutions, Inc., announced today shipment of its DRCS
graphical CASE tool. DRCS is currently shipping at a per-seat cost of $195
(floating license), and discounted site licenses are available. DRCS is
available for most Unix platforms, including NEXTSTEP on NeXT, 486, and
Pentium, Hewlett Packard/HP-UX, Sun/Solaris, Digital/Ultrix and OSF/1,
SGI/Irix, IBM/AIX, SCO UNIX, and Unixware.
DRCS provides project lifetime tracking and revision control for entire
directories as well as files. Users can freely access the contents of a
directory revision archive or treat the entire archive as a single unit. DRCS
directory archives maintain a history of their previous contents, even if
files have been renamed or deleted. Users can call DRCS shell commands
directly from a terminal window or access the full power of the system through
the DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User Interface.
The DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User Interface allows the user to open an
arbitrary number of Workspace Manager-like File Viewers rooted at different
locations in the file system. Revision control is provided transparently
through standard mouse operations. For example, the user can select a group
of files in the Workspace Manager File Viewer and drag them into a project
revision control directory in a DRCS File Viewer - the revision histories are
automatically updated. Inspector Panels allow the user to select revision
control options and make log entries, and a Preferences panel provides a full
range of default settings.
DRCS provides full compatibility with existing RCS revision archives ("RCS"
directories). The DRCS shell commands support 100% of the command-line
options of the corresponding RCS commands, while extending those commands to
operate on directories as well as files. In addition, DRCS offers advanced
features like automated file renaming and whole-project revision histories.
"DRCS breaks new ground in functionality and ease of use, and it's a fraction
of the cost of other graphical CASE systems. NEXTSTEP and Unix users -
whether they're developers or not - can finally enjoy full revision control of
everything from .rtfd files to entire filesystems. And best of all, anyone
who can use NEXTSTEP can learn how to use the DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User
Interface in a matter of minutes." said Robert L. Masterson, Vice President of
Software Services and Solutions, Inc.
