SS2TLIB.TXT 10-Feb-1999 The SS2TLIB utility will convert Microsoft/OneTree/Icarus SourceSafe archives into TLIB libraries, and create TLIB snapshot files from SourceSafe version labels. There are two versions of this utility: ss2tlib.awk The source code ss2tlib.exe The "bound" DOS+OS/2+NT version SS2TLIB.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). This utility is new, and lightly tested with Microsoft SourceSafe 5.0 (circa 10-18-96) and OneTree SourceSafe 2.12 (circa 4-01-93). Please let us know how it works for you (even if it works fine)! The SS2TLIB.EXE program is simply SS2TLIB.AWK compiled with Thompson Automation's Thompson AWK compiler. For usage instructions, run the utility of your choice with no options, like this: SS2TLIB.EXE or AWK -f SS2TLIB.AWK To use this tool, you must have TLIB Version Control already installed and configured, and at least the SS.EXE program from SourceSafe 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 ss2tlib.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, SS2TLIB leaves a copy of all "SS History" reports in the file HIST_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 SS2TLIB.AWK that other users might find usefull, we'll be grateful if you send them to us. Any comments, suggestions, or questions are welcome. Burton Systems Software
