TITLE
RCS_TTX - Integrate TurboText and RCS
VERSION
1.0
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
I was inspired by the recent review in comp.sys.amiga.reviews of
the DICE 3.0 C Compiler, which integrates RCS support into its
programming environment. And so, I have written 3 simple ARexx scripts
that integrate RCS with the TurboText text editor. One script "checks
in" the current document, one displays the recent changes in the current
document, and one displays the change log of the current document.
TTX_RCS is useful both for programmers and for any other TurboText
users. You can "check in" versions of any text file for safe-keeping,
not just program source code.
TTX_RCS is currently a simple hack that I designed and wrote in one
evening. However, it is quite useful, and I tested it even as I wrote
yet. Yes, TTX_RCS was used to maintain *itself* as it was being
created. :-) (Thanks to TurboText's interactive ARexx console!)

DISTRIBUTABILITY
Copyright 1994 Daniel J. Barrett. The files in this archive may be
freely distributed as long as they are distributed in their entirety.
Later versions of RCS_TTX will probably be placed into the public
domain. I want to add more features and eliminate bugs (if any) before
then.
