SCCS Anyone?
What tool did Prime use internally to control their software revisions? I find it hard enough controlling the work of a handful of C++ developers on PCs, the task of co-ordinating development in the UK, US and Australia must have been immense! Yet I never saw any ads for an SCCS-type product for Prime… “It was entirely dependent on the group. Generally, entire copies of the source tree were kept for each version. Careful hand management was done to keep these in sync. It was very primitive.” Emacs Group “We had an RCS port, which started seeing some usage. There were a couple of attempts to create a new source control systems on an ad hoc basis (anyone remember psychotic?). RCS came close but was never productized. “The last project I was working on was to be a fancy multi-system configuration manager which would work with multiple source and object pools and provide directory like views. But that was primarily aimed at UNIX, although we hoped to make it work on PRIMOS as well.” INFO
