The Totally Unofficial Cyclic Software Page

Everything you Wanted to Know about Version Control but were Afraid to Ask

This page is for various random documents we have stumbled across or concocted.

  • The name "Cyclic" by Noel Cragg, 1997. In the words of the author, "Anybody else want to sink to my level?" (noone did).
  • The Fish Logo.
  • "Like a Version", post by D. Champion to the newsgroup uchi.comp.unix, 1997. In the words of the author, "Version control is a serious matter!" (but he said we could put his post here anyway).
