Perl code, binaries and documentation for the <b>VCP</b> (Versioned
Copy)
tool and <b>RevML</b> (Revision Markup Language.)
      <p><b>VCP</b> is a tool for copying revision controlled files
between
various SCM repositories.&nbsp; <b>VCP</b> can copy files and some
related metadata&nbsp; from CVS or VSS repositories to a Perforce
server. Executables have been built for Linux, Solaris and Windows
platforms.&nbsp; A command line interface guides users through
selection of source and target repositories.&nbsp; The configuration
file created may be saved for further customization or run 'as is' to
convert data from one respostiory to another.
      </p>
      <p><b>VCP</b> currently supports converting from: <br>
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li>
CVS to Perforce <br>
        </li>
        <li>VSS to Perforce
        </li>
      </ul>
      <p><b>RevML</b> is an XML language that represents file
revisions, such as
those managed by Perforce and other version control and configuration
management systems. <b>RevML</b> provides a generic way to represent
revisions,
distinct from any particular version control or SCM tool's format. It
forms the basis for other tools that operate on file revisions.</p>
      <p><b>RevML</b> may be specified as a source or target by editing
the<b> VCP </b>generated<b>
      </b>configuration file.<br>

as HTML</a> via <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/index.html">the

</p>
<p> In addition, please refer to the following files from the

<p>All of the documentation is embedded in files in <a

using POD (Plain Old Documentation). The <tt>vcp help</tt> command
gives command-line access to all documentation, but lists user
documentation by default. The <tt>vcp help <i>dest_dir</i></tt>
command
can be used to build your own local copy of the documentation as HTML
(this is what is used to generate the HTML documentation linked to
above).

</ul>
<p></p>
<p>In order to modify VCP, you'll need a number of prerequisite modules
installed and VCP itself. The most up to date (and possibly unreleased)
files comprising the current distribution of VCP (which includes the
DTD
and support files for RevML) are available for direct browsing and
downloading from the Perforce Public Depot at
</p>
<blockquote><b> <a
 href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/public/revml/">//public/revml/...</a>
  </b></blockquote>
<p>VCP may be downloaded from the Public Depot using any Perforce
client software.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>Only developers should sync from the repository and read the README
and
INSTALL documents.

* about the above: yikes!
#9 5504 gerry Point to VCP executables.
#8 4504 Barrie Slaymaker - remove CPAN info from index.html
#7 1996 Barrie Slaymaker Refer to the vcp.pl "fat" distribution
#6 1995 Barrie Slaymaker Improve links to source directory
       Move documentation info above source code browsing info
       Show how to get command line help and how to
       generate local HTML documentation
#5 1994 Barrie Slaymaker Make VCP the primary subject of the page instead of RevML.
       Point to the HTML docs in the repository browser.
#4 1992 Barrie Slaymaker Add VSS notification.
#3 1155 rmg The change to utils/index.html was required to get the page
       to render better with Netscape 6.2. (Without the closing </B>
       tags, the whole page from the Depot Browsers section on down
       rendered bold...!)

       I made the same logical change to the other four for consistency,
       though they didn't seem to suffer from the same problem.

       p4dti/index.html still doesn't render right under Netscape 6.2,
       but it's from a different patterns and I couldn't see a quick
       clean fix... so I didn't mess with it for now.
#2 776 rmg Adjust the revml index (per feedback from barries and others)
and point the top level index link at it.
#1 775 rmg First cut index page for RevML.
