I am releasing my source control utilities for general use.

This source control system is simple to use, and I think that it has some
interesting features.  But the important thing to know is that I wrote it
as a PERSONAL source control system for individual users.  It does not have
any locking features to prevent checkouts and checkins by multiple users.

There are three utilities: fsc, fcomp, and fmerge.  The fsc utility is the
complete source control program which does everything.  The fcomp utility is
just a nice file comparison utility.  The fmerge utility is just a nice file
merging utility.  Read the man pages for instructions on how to use them. 

The main utility is named "fsc" even though the source files refer to "sc".
The "sc" name is the original one, was chosen many years ago, and I still
prefer it.  However I renamed the utility so that people would not confuse
it with a spreadsheet calculator which had the same name.

These sources are written for a POSIX environment with an ANSI C compiler,
and make full use of prototypes.  In particular, I used GCC under Linux.
The program also works under Windows using the cygwin environment.

I hope these utilities are useful to you.  Send comments and complaints to:
