EasyRCS - General Information

EasyRCS is an interface for HWGRCS, the Amiga port of RCS.

Revision Control System (RCS) is definitely a very usefull program for anyone who deals with many different revisions of the same files (e.g. programmers). But... it is a CLI only program! This doesn't fit well in the graphical environnement of the Amiga. So comes the need of an interface to use RCS from the Workbench.

So I made EasyRCS, RCS made EASY! The program is very simple but still is very powerful. All important functions of HGWRCS are supported and more:

  • Basic Check In / Check Out functions with or without lock.
  • Comment for each revision (modifiable afterwards).
  • Symbolic revision names.
  • Default revision or branch.
  • Browser for the revision comments.
  • ARexx support
  • ...

User interface
