The shape toolkit (ShapeTools) is a set of commands for change
control, developed by Axel Mahler, Andreas Lampen and others at the
Technical University of Berlin. It consists of a repository (the
Attributed File System), version control programs, a build driver
(compatible with make), release management system, and EMACS editor
interface. ShapeTools 1.3 was released in late May 1992; it runs on
many UNIX variants.
ShapeTools is available from ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/plan/shape/
In addition, gatekeeper has a mail archive server; send a message to
ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com whose body contains the single line "help".
A user WWW site is available at
