This has been expanded to correctly find arbitrary changes between the current top of tree and the client so that whole trees can be imported. This is routinely used to import updates to external source, including updates that can remove/rename whole directories of files. <b>C4</b> provides a control file that is placed at the top of each client to set environment variables, such as <code>P4PORT</code> and <code>P4CLIENT</code> (<b>p4</b> now provides this also). </dd> </dl> </p> <p> <dl> <dd> <b>C4</b> is not public domain; it is provided free of charge under a Berkeley UNIX type of license such as that used in FreeBSD. </dd> </dl> <p> <a href="ftp://ftp.perforce.com/pub/perforce/contrib/misc/c4-src-1.4.tar.gz"> FTP source code from Perforce. </a> <hr> <font size=-1> Copyright © 1997 -- 1999 Neil Russell, caret @ c-side dot com. </font> </body> </html>
