- The file 'myrcs.zoo' in this directory contains executables for a DOS
- port of RCS version 5.5. Documentation is available through the Free
- Software Foundation and other sources. Source code is not yet provided
- because 5.6 will contain a more "official" DOS port. Some of the
- improvements in this version are:
-
- - Lookup of the username from a Novell server (if attached)
- or from the LOGNAME environment variable.
- - Storage of the RCS file in a "common" format which can be
- shared with a Unix system (via NFS or SOS, also located
- in this directory). All this means is that carriage
- return characters are stripped.
- - Parsing of MS-DOS filenames, and use of "_v" instead of
- ",v". The rules for RCS filenames are:
- foo becomes foo._v
- foo.c becomes foo.c_v
- foo.as becomes foo.asv
- foo.bat becomes foo.bav
-
- You will need to get DIFF.EXE and DIFF3.EXE from one of the Gnuish
- MS-DOS distribution sites (such as vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu). The
- current versions of Gnu DIFF for DOS place an upper limit on the size
- of RCS files of ~64-100K, a restriction which you should consider when
- setting up RCS.
