- Get RCS (Revision Control System) from prep.ai.mit.edu. RCS is (IMHO)
- much better, and it will convert SCCS-maintained files into
- RCS-maintained files.
-
- The files you'll need are in /pub/gnu. For the NeXT, you'll need to get:
- (RCS *really* wants a fairly new version of diff.)
-
- -rw-r--r-- 1 14910 134910 Jan 6 1991 diff-1.15.tar.Z
- -rw-r--r-- 1 14910 349203 Dec 6 1991 rcs-5.6.tar.Z
-
- I have not seen what versions of software are shipped with NS 3.0.
- Hopefully, NeXT has included more recent versions of the various UNIX
- utilities.
-
- Examples of older software shipped include emacs (now at 18.58 vs
- 18.55), cc [gcc] (now at 2.2 vs 1.36), diff (old BSD), the nroff macros
- (old BSD), and others.
-
- Sometime soon I'll post a set of diffs (and some needed header-type
- files) that'll allow people to recompile the newer version of emacs.
- The other things seem to compile without any great problems, except gcc
- 2.2.2. I've got a working version of gcc 2.2.2 up, but I'd be
- interested in talking to anyone else out there who's built the sucker on
- the NeXT, and compare notes.
