G'day Paul,

Replying to a message of Paul Edwards to Jeff Green on 26-03-96:

 JG>> What is so good about CVS compared to RCS? BTW, I use RCS with Emacs 
 JG>> 19.30.1 but I think its support of CVS is limited.

 PE> It allows you to control a whole group of files, e.g. a product

spawn lots of
 PE> RCS commands).  It is a MUCH more controlled environment.  You can

 PE> cvs diff

 PE> and it comes back and shows you all the changes you've made to all the
 PE> files!  You can add a whole lot of files instead of just one at a

Thanks for that. I'll have to have a look at it ASAP.

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
