Our shop uses SCCS for version control. I find that the emacs vc commands don't work, for example C-x v l (vc-print-log), C-x v v to check out a file etc. After a bit of investigation what seems to be happening is that emacs is attempting to run "sccs" commands against the repository s-files rather than against the plain filenames themselves. E.g. emacs is doing sccs get -e /myprojectdir/SCCS/s.myfile.c But that's not allowed and does not work, at least on my OS. What you should do is sccs get -e myfile.c Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I guess I may be the only person in the world using emacs and SCCS on HP-UX! Thanks in advance, Ron
