Hi!

I works with a medium sized programming project (about 150 source files)
and currently uses the RCS posted to c.b.os2 some months ago (5.6?) to keep
track of different versions.

Since the CVS program included with RCS seems to be better I've tried to
use it instead, but I can't make it work. I can't find anything in
the doc on how to get started, i.e. put my files under CVS control
( ~ "CVS init" ). Is there some guide or hints on how to do that? (do CVS
*works* in the first place?)

I am also looking for some practical experience about version control in CVS
or RCS? In my opinon it seems to be too much work to keep track of 150 files -
I want to version control the application, not individual files. Any hints
on how to do that?

Thanks in advance.
