The rcs style option utilizes the inclusion of RCS supplied data in
LaTeX documents. It's upward compatible to *all* rcs styles I know of.
In particular, you can easily
-- access values of every RCS field in your document
-- put the checkin date on the titlepage
-- put RCS fields in a footline
You can typeset revision logs. Not in verbatim -- real LaTeX text! But
you need a configurable RCS for that. Refer to the user manual for
more detailed information.
You can also configure the rcs style option easily to do special
things for any keyword.
This style comes with a user manual, an internal interface
description, full documentation of the implementation, style
information for AUC-TeX, and test cases.
Concerning compatibility: The user interfaces of Piet van Oostrum's,
Nelson Beebe's, and Tom Verhoeff's style are supported. It is also
compatible to previous versions of this style option (of course).
I.e., the confusion of multiple incompatible rcs style options should
be resolved now.
INSTALLATION:
1. Copy rcs.sty from the current directory to the directory where
you keep LaTeX style files.
2. Copy rcs-user.dvi from the current directory to the directory
where you keep the documentation for your installed LaTeX styles.
What? You don't have such a directory? Shame on you. ;-)
That's where your Local Guide shall reside! Create one immediately...
3. If you want to typeset revision logs, you need a configurable RCS.
We created a version, which is currently in beta test. You'll find
it in ftp.th-darmstadt.de:pub/programming/management/confrcs/.
4. If you use AUC-TeX, copy style/rcs.el to the directory
<auctex>/style. Here <auctex> is either the directory, where
AUC-TeX is installed, or it is the directory where you keep your
personal LaTeX style files. (If that's all Greek to you, refer to
the installation instructions of AUC-TeX.)
Reference anonymous ftp site:
ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75]
directory pub/tex/latex
file rcs-sty-<version>.tar.gz
where <version> is the current version number
(a gzipped tar file)

I've finally learned what "upward compatible" means. It means we get
to keep all our old mistakes. [D. van Tassel]
