Is anyone using RCS? If you are can you tell me how to get a
';' into the "RCS -c" command? Or, when using $LOG$, how I can get RCS
to place the ";" as a comment leader? The docs state that during the
initial ci, the comment leader is guessed from the suffix of the
working file. I've tried to escape the semi-colon with no avail. I am
using ARP and WB1.3.2. Thanks!

| 3364.1 | Not sure of Amiga RCS, but in UNIX... | AISG::LANDINGHAM | Guy M., DLB5-3/E5, 291-9268 | Tue Sep 04 1990 15:54 | 16 |
This reply is probably so late that no one cares anymore, but... I haven't looked at the Amiga RCS (yet!) but I know that in UNIX you can "force" the character(s) used for comment lines by directly editing the RCS file. For instance if you are maintaining "main.c" with RCS there'll be a file "main.c,v" which RCS uses for the file. If you edit this file you'll see a line like: comment @# @; Just replace the characters between the "@"s with whatever you want to have RCS use to create comment lines for this file. There is at least one RCS command that has a switch to do this for you. Theoretically, I guess one shouldn't ever directly edit an RCS file, but I'm assuming AmigaDOS is grabbing the ";" and not letting it get to RCS, so this may be a workaround, if Amiga RCS is similar to UNIX. | |||||
