I'm well aware of that. Actually, Tichy's rcs archive file structure is used by several SCM tools, including SVN and Perforce (did you know that?). It's a good thing to do. Saves i-nodes/whatever in windoze. Well tested code libraries. Pretty fast code reconstruction through reverse deltas. But svn and Perforce use an ancillary data base (Berkeley DB in both cases, I believe, for the hot back ups) to hold all the important data, whereas cvs and rcs still store a lot of important stuff in the overburdened archive files. -- Lan Barnes Linux Guy, SCM Specialist Tcl/Tk Enthusiast -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
