    NAME
         rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in
         under RCS

    SYNOPSIS
         rcsfreeze [symbolic revision name]

    DESCRIPTION
         The rcsfreeze command has the purpose of assigning a sym-
         bolic revision number to a set of RCS files, which form a
         valid configuration.

         The idea is to run rcsfreeze each time a new version is
         checked in. A unique symbolic revision number (C_number,
         where number is increased each time rcsfreeze is run) is
         then assigned to the most recent revision of each RCS file
         of the main trunk.

         If the command is invoked with an argument, then this argu-
         ment is used as the symbolic name to freeze a configuration.
         The unique identifier is still generated and is listed in
         the log file but it will not appear as part of the symbolic
         revision name in the actual RCS files.

         A log message is requested from the user which is saved for
         future references.

         The shell script works only on all RCS files at one time.
         It is important that all changed files are checked in (there
         are no precautions against any error in this respect). Run
         rcsclean(1L) first and see whether any sources remain in the
         current directory.

    FILES
         [RCS/]rcsfreeze.version  for the version number

         [RCS/]rscfreeze.log      for the log messages, most recent
    			      log message first.

    BUGS
         The program does not check whether there are any sources
         checked out and modified.
