NAME

     twversion , vertool - twversion is a graphical  user  inter-
     face  (GUI)  tool for the Source Code Control System (SCCS).
     twversion is available as part of the Sun WorkShop  TeamWare
     product.

SYNOPSIS

     twversion  [ directory ] [ file ] [ -V ]

     The directory  argument  specifies  the  directory  that  is
     loaded into twversion when it begins execution.

     The file argument specifies the file history that is  loaded
     into twversion when it begins execution.

     The -V option displays the version being run.

DESCRIPTION

     twversion formerly known as Version Tool, is a GUI tool  for
     the  SCCS  command set.  It allows you to perform SCCS func-
     tions using an interactive GUI.  You  can  put  files  under
     SCCS  control,  check  in  and check out files, and visually
     peruse the history and contents of  SCCS  files  at  various
     points  in  the file history.  You can also use twversion to
     execute  Filemerge  to  compare  the   differences   between
     selected  delta  versions  of  a file. If you have more than
     2000 files in a single directory under  SCCS  control  using
     Sun WorkShop TeamWare, you could experience problems. Subdi-
     vide workspace directories for better performance.

     To start twversion, type twversion on the command line.

ENVIRONMENT

     You can set the following environment variable  in  conjunc-
     tion with twversion.

     VERTOOL_EDITOR_CMD
                    Allows you to specify a  command  which  will
                    bring  up a window with your favorite editor.
                    An   example   of   a   valid    value    for
                    VERTOOL_EDITOR_CMD is "cmdtool vi".

     To set the VERTOOL_EDITOR_CMD environment variable  for  vi,
     use the following command:
     setenv VERTOOL_EDITOR_CMD "cmdtool vi"

     Note that the editor specification (as well as other  twver-
     sion  features)  can  also  be  customized  using  the View-
     >Options menu.  The editor defined  in  the  Options  window
     takes precedence over the VERTOOL_EDITOR_CMD setting.

USAGE

     The online Help system provides help messages in  Help  win-
     dows  for each twversion dialog box.  To use the online Help
     system, select Help from the twversion menu bar. Then select
     TeamWare  Windows->Versioning  Windows,  and select the area
     for which you want help.

     To display a list of SCCS commands started by twversion, the
     results  of  the  commands, or any errors from SCCS, use the
     Command Output option from the View menu item.
