The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 23rd October 2004 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent

such as our network access during meetings.
Talks: Information on upcoming talks is announced separately.

Subject: Announcing the release of GNU CSSC 1.00 (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
I'm happy to announce the release of GNU CSSC, version
1.00. This is the first public full release of CSSC. CSSC
has spent a long time in beta testing. This is because it
is a version control system and has undergone a great deal
of testing; nobody wants a buggy version control system.
CSSC ("Compatibly Stupid Source Control") is the GNU
project's replacement for the traditional Unix SCCS suite.
It aims for full compatibility, including precise nuances of
behaviour, support for all command-line options, and in most
cases bug-for-bug compatibility. CSSC comes with an
extensive automated test suite.
If you are currently using SCCS to do version control of
software, you should be able to just drop in CSSC, even for
example if you have a large number of shell scripts which
are layered on top of SCCS and depend on it. This should
allow you to develop on and for the GNU/Linux platform if
your source code exists only in an SCCS repository. CSSC
also allows you to migrate to a more modern version control
system (such as CVS, perhaps).
You can download GNU CSSC from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cssc.
There is a mailing list for users of the CSSC suite. To
join it, please send email to <cssc-users-request@gnu.org>
or visit the URL
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/cssc-users.
In the file docs/CREDITS within the CSSC distribution, there
is a full list of people who have contributed to the
development of CSSC. They are listed briefly here :-
James Youngman, Ross Ridge, Eric Allman, Lars Hecking,
Larry McVoy, Dave Bodenstab, Malcolm Boff, Richard Polton,
Fila Kolodny, Peter Kjellerstedt, John Interrante,
Marko Rauhamaa, Achim Hoffann, Dick Streefland,
Greg A. Woods, Aron Griffis, Michael Sterrett,
William W. Austin, Hyman Rosen, Mark Reynolds,
Sergey Ostashenko, Frank van Maarseveen, Jeff Sheinberg,
Thomas Duffy, Yann Dirson
Many thanks to all the above people.
The MD5 checksum for the release file is :
7cba27f03f07ee9d0fb513aea3b8e3e6 CSSC-1.00.tar.gz
Please report any bugs via this software to the CSSC bug reporting
