Top  Previous  Next


CS-RCS supports three levels of command-line interfaces and two COM interfaces.

The following are the Command-line interfaces supported by Component Software RCS:
·Basic interface This is a very simple command line interface designed mainly to enable the integration of CS-RCS with development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic and Borland Delphi.  
·Advanced interface The advanced command-line interface has been designed to provide the full power of CS-RCS for DOS command windows and batch files.  
·Raw-level interface This interface should be used by programmers with a good knowledge of GNU RCS. With this interface you can manipulate the archive files. Since CS-RCS archive files are 100% compatible with GNU RCS, the command-line port of GNU RCS is used in conjunction with CS-RCS. To download the command-line port of GNU RCS to NT go to: ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc1.zip.  

The following are the COM Interfaces supported by CS-RCS:  
·Microsoft SCC API – This is a Microsoft proprietary API. Contact Microsoft for more information.  
·CS-RCS ActiveX server API – For the updated CS-RCS COM API, please see:
