Has anyone succeeded in understanding how the DOS rcs is intended to work? When I try to use it, it puts write protection on a file, then can't delete this file when checking in. Then when checking out, it encounters the write-protected file and can't overwrite it. None of the switches on ci or co seem to help, and rcs.exe doesn't either. Of course all of this can be gotten around with chmod (or whatever program one uses to change file attributes), but what a nuisance! I hope I'm missing something, and would appreciate help. It would help to have the source code. My executables were obtained from Simtel, but there isn't even a hint as to who did the port there. Chet Creider <creider@csd.uwo.ca>.
