The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

I am looking for the Revision Control System (RCS) software package for the QL. I used it many years ago for one of my software development and I want to go back to it. I couldn’t find it on Dilwyn site (but maybe I don’t know where to look) or anywhere else.

RCS was ported to the QL by Dave Walker if I remember correctly.

If anybody has a link to where I could download it, please let me know.

Hi,

Try looking at this web site:

http://morloch.hd.free.fr/qdos/repository/#C68

That's a nice link. I'm curious, I found a small C compiler on that link. How was that related to Digital C's? Were they two separate ports or did Digital C start with that one?

It looks like Gerry Jackson was the author of both so am I correct to assume the QL version of SmallC predates Digital Precision's C and C/SE? Did they commercialize the product at one point?

Tried compiling with it and it complains about finding a file that is right there.

I don't have a link. But I do have a copy of Dave's hard drives, so I pulled a ZIP from those. Attached.

Ah, Derek already posted a link. But my ZIP also includes the source, so still maybe interesting

Thank you Marcel and Derek. Just need to remember how it works now!

What you need is a copy of "Applying RCS and SCCS" by Bolinger & Bronson from O'Reilly & Assoc. The edition I have has the pink spine and two raccoons on the front. Copyright is 1995. You should be able to find copies online (I get most of my older books on Amazon).
The book is 500 pages and about a third is on RCS.

BTW: Is there a chance to port git to QDOS?
