Hi,
I have installed cygwin on my
Windows machine.
I use rcs. I have found
a problem.
Some time I will use rcs with
absolute parameter in windows format
like:
ci -d -u -x,v c:\temp\a.txt c:\temp\RCS\a.txt,v
but the command report an error:
file RCS/c:\temp\a.txt not found.
The problem is that the path is not
converted like unix before the substitution.
If I use a unix path like
ci -d -u -x,v /cygdrive/c/temp/a.txt /cygdrive/c/temp/RCS/a.txt,v"
all work ok!
There is a patch??
This is a bug??
Thanks in advance.
Davide

No.

No.
Cygwin is a UNIX emulation layer for Windows. The whole point of the
product is to avoid MS-DOS path names. However, some programs are
forgiving and deal with them more or less correctly. RCS is,
apparently, not one of them.
