I was working on a port of RCS (revision control system) to
MS-DOS when it occurred to me that maybe someone had already
done this. I checked the GNUish msdos archive and found the
following message in the README fileREADME for the GNUish MS-DOS project.
>The following GNU tools have already been ported to DOS, and will be
>added later in the GNUish MS-DOS subdirectory:
> bison chess compress ctags gawk perl rcs readline
Does anyone know where I can find this port of RCS to msdos?
If it is not yet available, is there any timetable for it's release?
I am pretty close to completing my port but it has some major
kludges in it. Files that are checked-in can have no more than one
character in the extension (to make room for the ,v).
The user name and uid problems are nowhere near solved. For the moment
I have hard-coded my name and the number 1 into the program as the
user name and uid. I can of course change this to prompting the
user for the value or checking an environment variable but I would
prefer to just get somebody else's port if it already exists.
No use re-inventing the wheel when it comes to GNU software.
Also, does anyone know why this should fail in Turbo C. Version 2.0?
creat(".\-test.c",000)
It is being used to create a locking semaphore for the file test.c
and it keeps failing.
