The Revision Control Revisited Page

Page last updated: 9 September 2000

The October 1999 Toolman article presents a Bourne shell script called rc that can be used to automate the check-out/edit/check-in cycle of SCCS and RCS revision control systems. rc also provides many sanity checks that help to prevent mistakes. The article, entitled ``Toolman: Revision Control Revisited,'' appears in the October 1999 issue of the USENIX Association's ;login: magazine.
