How do I import existing GNU RCS or GNU CVS files to CS-RCS?

| 1. | Create the desired directory structure in the repository (see previous question).
|
| 2. | Copy your files to the desired directories.
|
| 3. | Open the Document Explorer.
|
| 4. | From the Project menu, click Scan New Files. The newly added files should be marked as New, since there is no local working copy for these files.
|
| 5. | From the Project menu, click Update to retrieve the local working copy.
|
| 6. | Using the Revision History command, verify that archives of binary files (such as Microsoft Word documents) are marked as binary. You may convert your files to binary using the rcs -kb command. You can download the RCS utility and samples from: http://www.ComponentSoftware.com/ftp/rcsadmin.zip.
|
| · | If you wish to retain the current location of legacy RCS files, you can define Alternate Repository projects to reference your folders.
|
| · | When importing files from UNIX systems by FTP, use the binary transfer mode. If you do not, you will get a false "^M" value on your text files.
