    In this  assignment, you will learn to use the Revision Control System also known as RCS.  RCS is  a UNIX utility for  the management of  software systems with  multiple versions and configurations. 

    You can find a comprehensive description of  RCS at RCS--A System for Version Control. The first few pages of this document should serve the purpose of this assignment. A brief description of RCS can be found at Functions of RCS. 

    For each of the following tasks record all the commands and description typed at the command line into a separate file named submit.rcs. You will submit a printout of this file. Each time you check-in a file, you will be asked to enter a log message. Keep a record of log also in submit.rcs. Please use the -l option while checking out a file. 
     

  • Create a C program to count the number of alphabetic characters in a given text file. Name it tba2.c. Check in this file into RCS. When checking in for the first time, you will be asked for a description. Enter the appropriate description.

  •  
  • Check out the file and add identification marker ($Id$) and Log ($Log$) marker at the top of this file. Then check in the file.

  •  
  • Check out tba2.c and modify the program to count the numeric characters also. Then check in the file.

  •  
  • Check out the tba2.c and make changes in it so that it counts the white spaces also in the given text. Then while checking it in, assign the number 2.1 to this revision using the -r option.

  •  
  • Make a printout of your final tba.c and submit.rcs and submit it at the beginning of the class on the due date. Save the files so that they can be examined in case of doubt.
