using cvs or rcs in to manage data files from programs

Hi, I have an app that I use that saves scripts in a C like text file. I wish to extend it to use somthing like CVS or RCS to manage these scripts within the app. So the user can save revisions and go back steps if needed etc. So I suppose I'm asking for an API for CVS that I can extend my ap

This only works on the first checkout. In a sane and normal source control system, files stay read only until you check them out. CVS seems to be neither and lets people change files at will. This is quite bad and counter productive. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > When a Linux user goes a check

Of course, an alternative would be not to encrypt individual deltas but rather the entire RCS file. The user would then be required to somehow supply the key to whatever low-level software performs that function before having any kind of meaningful access to the data. It's not difficult to build

cvs doesn't work, people do. Assumptions become invalid. The concept 'DOS text files' is a stale leftover from CP/M. Who cares if there's a ^Z to mark the end of a 'text' file? I don't see any hands up. There's no end to the amount of grief those pesky ^Z have caused. Anyway, most work on a W

If the problem is that you need CR/LF for files in a Windows hosted sandbox, but only LF when those files are checked out in a *nix hosted sandbox, you need the CR/LF to LF translation. The binary from the cvshome site will do it, http://ftp.cvshome.org/win32/cvs1-11.zip. There will probably be
