Mounting a PVCS Directory

Before you can mount a PVCS filesystem, you need to install PVCS on your system. PVCS is not provided with the IDE.

  1. Choose Versioning Mount Generic Version Control System from the main window.
  2. In the Version Control System combo box in the Customizer dialog box, choose the PVCS configuration for your platform (or for the platform most closely matching yours).
  3. In the Working Directory field, type or browse to the directory where you would like to store local files. Be sure to have a file called vcs.cfg with database information in this directory.
  4. Verify that the PVCS Repository field is filled in correctly with the repository given in the vcs.cfg file from the working directory specified in the previous step. Be sure this directory includes a database called access.db and the basecfg.cfg file. The basecfg.cfg file should specify the location of the access database in the ACCESSDB directive and the root of the repository directory the VCSDIR directive.
In PVCS 6.5 the archive suffix has been changed. The result is that some commands can only be executed in advanced mode if the -s parameter is added to the commands.
