- 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.

- 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,{C},{W}
- IGNORE_CASE = ----| |
- IGNORE_WHITE = --------|
- 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
- NUMBER FILE = /UN,in-file,{out-file}
- VIEW = /V,{log}
-
- 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.
