<td valign=top>Source and documentation for PVCSToP4 scripts - Perl scripts to
migrate a repository from Serena's PVCS Professional into Perforce.
<p>This set of Perl scripts converts PVCS archives to Perforce, preserving the
original times and authors. Branches are translated verbatim, individual file
revisions are grouped as much as possible into Perforce's notion of atomic
changes.</p>
<p>Requires Perl 5.6, PVCS 7.x (command line) or later and Perforce 2002.1 or later. The
scripts only run on Windows (read values from Registry).</p>
<p>The newest (fastest) version requires PCLI to be installed (PVCS Command Line
Interface). This is not usually installed by default.</p>
<p>Basic Files required to download are (see <a href="main/README.txt">readme.txt</a>
for more info):</p>

<p>If you have an old version of PVCS (prior to 6.5) or you can't get PCLI
installed, then please use this older version of the scripts (not so well
tested!!):</p>
