As a software developer, you typically acquire code from a code integration area or integration workspace. You then:

• Add new features to your program module
• Test and debug the program
• Put the code back in the implementation or integration workspace from which it was acquired

The Versioning and Freezepointing section of this guide explains how to use Versioning for controlling files and monitoring changes on concurrent software development projects. Versioning is a graphical user interface (GUI) to the source code control system (SCCS). It also explains how to use Freezepointing, a tool that allows you to create snapshots of a project at various key junctures. These snapshots, or freezepoints, enable you to recreate the project at a particular state in its development cycle. Use this section if you write programs coded in ASCII text source. This sections assumes that you are familiar with programming constructs and processes. You need not have previous experience with SCCS.

The Building and DMake sections of this guide are a supplement to the standard make documentation. They describe how to use Building and Distributed Make to make the process of building programs more efficient. Use these sections if you maintain programs using the make utility and wish to speed up the build process. These sections also assume that you are familiar with the standard make utility.

This manual assumes that you are familiar with the SunOS operating system, the UNIX® source code control system (SCCS), and with general programming terminology.
