	       PRCS -- Project Revision Control System


The Project Revision Control System, PRCS, is the front end to a set
of tools that (like CVS) provide a way to deal with sets of files and
directories as an entity, preserving coherent versions of the entire
set.

PRCS was designed primarily by Professor P. N. Hilfinger, with input
and modifications by Luigi Semenzato and Josh MacDonald.  PRCS is
written and maintained by Josh MacDonald.

PRCS is designed to be much simpler to use than either RCS, which only
allows version control on individual files, or CVS, which is
excessively complicated and has severe design flaws.

To compile and install PRCS, read the instructions in the INSTALL
file.  Once you have done this, you should at least read the first few
sections of the documentation.  It is available in info format.  All
documentation is located in the doc/ subdirectory.

Future releases of PRCS and current documentation can be found at
ftp://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/prcs.  HTML documentation and recent
developments are available online at
