PVCSTLIB.TXT                                            10-Feb-1999

The PVCSTLIB utility will convert PVCS archives (logfiles) into TLIB
libraries, and create TLIB snapshot files from PVCS version labels.

There are two versions of this utility:

        pvcstlib.awk            The source code
        pvcstlib.exe            The "bound" DOS+OS/2+NT version

PVCSTLIB.AWK has been tested with both Thompson AWK and Duff AWK
(but to use Duff AWK, you must run the 2-08-99 build of AWKL.EXE).

The PVCSTLIB.EXE program is simply PVCSTLIB.AWK compiled with
Thompson Automation's Thompson AWK compiler.

For usage instructions, run the utility of your choice with no options,
like this:

        PVCSTLIB.EXE
   or   AWK -f PVCSTLIB.AWK

To use this tool, you must have TLIB Version Control already installed
and configured, and at least the VLOG and GET programs from PVCS.

Use this tool with a command-line TLIB version 5.04g or later.  Run
"tlib q" to see what version of TLIB you have; to use it with TLIB
5.02d, you'll need to remove the "autobrnch" parameter from the
generated pvcstlib.cfg file before running convert.bat or convert.cmd.

In case of problems, you may add an optional parameter, -d, to
the end of the command line, to show debug output.  In addition,
PVCSTLIB leaves a copy of all VLOG reports in the file VLOG_OUT.TMP.

Feel free to modify the source code to suit your needs.  If you
don't have Thompson AWK, you can use the 8-Feb-1999 build of Rob Duff's
freeware AWK, AWKL.EXE, which came with TLIB.

If you make improvements to PVCSTLIB.AWK that other users might find
usefull, we'll be grateful if you send them to us.

Any comments, suggestions, or questions are welcome.
