Applying RCS and SCCS
By Don Bolinger & Tan Bronson
528 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-117-8, $29.95

We've just released "Applying RCS and SCCS," the latest Nutshell Handbook
for UNIX users. This book is a guide to managing complex software
development projects using the two source-control systems traditionally
available under UNIX: RCS (the Revision Control System) and SCCS (the
Source Code Control System). "Applying RCS and SCCS" takes the reader
through increasingly complex management problems: from basic source
control of a single file, through working with multiple releases of a
software project, to coordinating multiple developers on large,
multi-platform projects.

"Applying RCS and SCCS" is a complete guide to either system. Each is
covered in a task-oriented fashion, showing how to apply the two systems
to implement a truly useful development process. In addition, it contains
an overview of CVS, SPMS, and other source and project management
environments.

The book also explains the limitations of RCS and SCCS within such a
process, and suggests how they can be augmented to provide still more
powerful support for development. TCCS, a representative "front-end"
system that addresses problems RCS and SCCS can't handle alone, is also
presented with the explicit tasks of managing groups of files, developing
for multiple platforms, and linking public and private development areas.

"Applying RCS and SCCS" answers the real questions people have about RCS
and SCCS: not just "What are the commands?" but "How do I use it to
accomplish a task?" It includes quick refs for RCS and SCCS, and
implements notes for those who need to work with them quickly.
