NAME 
       admin - administer (create) TCS file. 

SYNOPSIS 
       admin -ifile tcsfile

DESCRIPTION 
       Admin  -i  enters a text file into the TCS system for the first
       time.  "File" is  the  source  file  to  be  entered  into  the
       system;  "tcsfile"  is  the  TCSed version of the file.  (Local
       convention is to use the name "file.tcs" for  files  maintained
       by TCS, if possible.)
       
       The  file  is  tagged  as Version #1.1 and the user is prompted
       for initial comments concerning the development of the file. 
       
       The date, time and user  ID  are  recorded  in  the  statistics
       portion of the file. 

FILES 
       A  scratch  file  is  used  while  creating the output file and
       moved upon completion of input.

DIAGNOSTICS 
       Usage: admin -ifile file.tcs
                 Correct  calling  format  is  provided  when   called
                 without arguments. 
       
       - flag missing
                 Incorrect calling procedure. 
       
       -i:  filename missing
                 The  input  filename  is  expected  to be immediately
                 adjacent to the -i flag.  (no white-space)
       
       Invalid flag
                 -i is the only valid flag at present. 
EXAMPLES
       admin -iprogram program.tcs
            Create an initial  version  of  "program"  stored  in  TCS
            format and put on file "program.tcs". 
            
            To  retrieve  the  program  for  more  changes, use "get".
            Then, to insert the changes back into the TCS system,  use
            "delta".
