	   I recently saw a posting concerning some software written
   by Brian Berliner called CVS and would like to here more about it.

We've been using it for a few months. It is quite nice. Most of the
users are a part of a small group that are sharing a lot of their
code. In other words, a lot of simultaneous updates to common files.

   with Quantum Software Systems version of RCS (called qrcs)?

Good luck!

CVS was written (by the author's admission) on a Sun, for a Sun, and
only a Sun. BUT, the author is a very good software writer. The code
is very well written. I've only had to modify a couple of low level
functions to get CVS to run on Sys V 3.2. My biggest problem currently
is getting diff3 to do what rcs wants. CVS came up on a MIPS
(schizophrenic SysV/BSD machine) with very little effort.

QNX is far too different from Unix to expect to be able to port CVS in
a resonable amount of time and effort. But of course, anything can
happen. To be fair, RCS would be the hard part. If quantum could get
RCS to run on QNX, you should be able to get CVS. Just be prepared for
some work.

And again, good luck.
