RCS keeps the last version in a "pristine" form ... If I read this right, RCS keeps the last version in a form that will not choke a compiler? If so, then is there anything else about RCS that would prevent using the RCS directory as your "official" compilation library? Then "normal" builds would always use the latest checked-in files, and compilers that check file dates would not have to recompile files that had not been checked out and in again! The down side is that malice and/or stupidity could get in and edit the files without check in/out. Can't do that in SCCS unless you're clever enough to recompute and edit the checksum. PLUG: A low cost CM system (and more!) that adds functionality to either SCCS or RCS is Razor. It is also very customizable. Even though written in C, it is reliable and robust--and the authors originally started it to support an Ada project. I have no personal interest in it, just a satisfied user.
