  63. Source and documentation for Perforce's VssToP4 scripts - Perl scripts to
  64. migrate a repository from Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe into Perforce.
  65. <p>This set of Perl scripts converts VSS archives to Perforce, preserving the
  66. original times and authors. Branches are translated verbatim, individual file
  67. revisions are grouped as much as possible into Perforce's notion of atomic
  68. changes.</p>
  69. <p>Requires Perl 5.6, VSS 5.0 or later and Perforce 97.3 or later.&nbsp;The 
  70. scripts only run on Windows (read values from Registry).</p>
  71. <p>Basic Files required to download are (see <a href="ftp://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/utils/vsstop4/main/README.txt">readme.txt</a>
