Abstract:

In order to track changes in the TABLES/STSDAS code, as well as for Quality Assurance and to simplify the code release process, the GNU Revision Control System (RCS) was chosen as the method of revision control. Due to special needs ofour group and the desire to have an easy-to-use interface to the RCS system that could be used not only for TABLES/STSDAS but for personal code as well, a suite of Perl scripts and an Expect/Tk graphical user interface was written. This user interface will be described as well as the functionality of the Perl scripts, and how this task can be customized for use with any code.
