Installing the windows 95 revision control librarian.
-----------------------------------------------------

One technique is to run the SETUP.BAT file that comes with the package.
Another is to copy the various files by hand, as described later.


Using SETUP.BAT
---------------

CD into the top directory of the package (where SETUP.BAT is found) and
type SETUP.  Follow the instructions.


Installing RCS
--------------

You may not need to install RCS.  The setup has the ability to install
the required RCS files.  If the RCS files are not included then read the
instructions which come later.


Adding RCS utilities into the SETUP
-----------------------------------

If the RCS utilities are not included, and you wish to make this setup
into a self contained unit (for example on a diskette which you can install
on various computers) then add the BINNT utilities from the RCS
distribution into the BINNT.RCS of this setup package

The minimal files for the revision librarian are...

    CI       EXE        21,504  01-26-97 10:50p CI.EXE
    CO       EXE        16,384  01-26-97 10:50p CO.EXE
    DIFF     EXE        46,080  01-01-97  1:55p DIFF.EXE
    DIFF3    EXE        23,552  01-01-97  1:55p DIFF3.EXE
    GNUREGEX DLL        31,744  01-01-97  1:55p GNUREGEX.DLL
    RCS      EXE        20,992  01-26-97 10:50p RCS.EXE
    RCSDIFF  EXE        11,264  01-26-97 10:50p RCSDIFF.EXE
    RCSLIB   DLL        58,368  01-26-97 10:50p RCSLIB.DLL
    RLOG     EXE        20,480  01-26-97 10:50p RLOG.EXE
    RSXNT    DLL        50,688  12-12-96 10:54a RSXNT.DLL
    RSXNTCS  DLL       165,888  12-08-96  2:54p RSXNTCS.DLL



Installing by hand
------------------

These instructions assume the files are on you A: drive, starting in
the root directory, and that C:\UTILS is a directory in your path, and
that windows in installed in C:\WINDOWS.  Modify the paths shown below
to the appropriate ones for your system.


1 - get the winnt version of the RCS utilities.

        CD C:\TEMP
        ftp ftp.leo.org
        cd  pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/devtools
        binary
        get rcs57pc1.zip
        bye


2 - install rcs into your PC.  The files must go to a directory in your path.
    The exe versions are listed as BINNT.  These files work on NT or Win95.

        CD C:\TEMP
        pkunzip -d rcs57pc1.zip
        cd binnt
        copy *.* C:\UTILS


3 - install the exe files from this package into a directory in your path.

        copy A:\BIN\*.* C:\UTILS

  - ensure the directory is actually in your path.  Restart the computer
    if necessary (eg. if it's a new directory).


4 - update the registry with the new file types 

        CD C:\UTILS
        regedit revision-librarian.reg

    (if the install directory is not yet in your path then regedit
    will crash, though this doesn't appear to cause a problem, and
    the registry is updated correctly anyway.)

    
5 - copy the "revision librarian" icon into your sendto directory

    - use explorer to find "revision librarian" in the C:\UTILS
      directory.  (the file is "revision librarian.pif" but the icon
      doesn't display the .pif even when the view options are set to
      display file types).
    - check it's got an icon you like  (The icon in the distributed version
      assumes that windows is in C:\WINDOWS.  If not then you may wish to 
      change the icon.)
    - Ctrl-drag the icon into the sendto directory
      (normally C:\WINDOWS\SENDTO )


6 - copy the "do revision librarian .bat" icon into an easily accessible
    location.

    - use explorer to find "do revision librarian .bat"
    - Ctrl-drag the icon into the desktop


7 - optionally copy the icon into any directories where you keep
    revision controlled documents.


8 - if you are not using a network, then you will need to add the following
    line to AUTOEXEC.BAT

       SET USER=yourname

    (If you are using windows 95 networking then your logon name is used
     by default.)
