Meriden, Connecticut, June 30, 1993 - Software Services and
Solutions, Inc., Announces DRCS CASE Tool for NEXTSTEP and Unix
Software Services and Solutions, Inc., announced today shipment of
its DRCS graphical CASE tool. DRCS is currently shipping at a
per-seat cost of $195 (floating license), and discounted site
licenses are available. DRCS is available for most Unix platforms,
including NEXTSTEP on NeXT, 486, and Pentium, Hewlett
Packard/HP-UX, Sun/Solaris, Digital/Ultrix and OSF/1, SGI/Irix,
IBM/AIX, SCO UNIX, and Unixware.
DRCS provides project lifetime tracking and revision control for
entire directories as well as files. Users can freely access the
contents of a directory revision archive or treat the entire
archive as a single unit. DRCS directory archives maintain a
history of their previous contents, even if files have been renamed
or deleted. Users can call DRCS shell commands directly from a
terminal window or access the full power of the system through the
DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User Interface.
The DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User Interface allows the user to open
an arbitrary number of Workspace Manager-like File Viewers rooted
at different locations in the file system. Revision control is
provided transparently through standard mouse operations. For
example, the user can select a group of files in the Workspace
Manager File Viewer and drag them into a project revision control
directory in a DRCS File Viewer - the revision histories are
automatically updated. Inspector Panels allow the user to select
revision control options and make log entries, and a Preferences
panel provides a full range of default settings.
DRCS provides full compatibility with existing RCS revision
archives ("RCS" directories). The DRCS shell commands support 100%
of the command-line options of the corresponding RCS commands,
while extending those commands to operate on directories as well as
files. In addition, DRCS offers advanced features like automated
file renaming and whole-project revision histories.
"DRCS breaks new ground in functionality and ease of use, and it's
a fraction of the cost of other graphical CASE systems. NEXTSTEP
and Unix users - whether they're developers or not - can finally
enjoy full revision control of everything from .rtfd files to
entire filesystems. And best of all, anyone who can use NEXTSTEP
can learn how to use the DRCS NEXTSTEP Graphical User Interface in
a matter of minutes." said Robert L. Masterson, Vice President of
Software Services and Solutions, Inc.
