This archive is version 4 of RCS. It is the same as the previous
os-k release but with several bugs fixed. To run properly, you
will need GNU 'diff' which should be available from the same place
you got this archive.
While you can use "rcsdiff" from any shell, I have had problems
when the SHELL environment variable was not set to the microware
standard shell.
Note that because all my development for rcs happens under userid
118.118, that is the owner of all the files. Use 'chown' to put
them to whatever you want. The executable files (any 68k machine)
have public e&r bits set.
I use RCS, but I don't support it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains complete sources for version 4 of RCS.
Version 3 was included in the 4.3 BSD distribution. Features include:
1) Version 4 supports the "branch" keyword.
2) Several bug fixes. In particular dereferencing of NULL pointers
has been fixed. Previous versions dumped core on Sun machines.
3) Version 4 is backward compatible with version 3. Version 4 RCS will
handle files checked in under version 3 (but not vice versa).
4) This distribution is not supported in anyway. However, bugs and
(especially) bug fixes may be reported to rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu.
5) Older versions of diff do not support options used by RCS. It is
known that 4.3 BSD, and SunOS 3.2 (and later releases) support the
needed options. If your version of diff does not support these
options, rcsdiff and rcsmerge will fail. Send mail to the above mail
list giving the version of Unix you run, and arrangements will be made
to distribute diff.
6) See the READ_ME file in the src subdirectory concerning distribution
of RCS sources.
7) All sources for RCS are contained in the "src" subdirectory. Read the
directions in its Makefile to set up the correct compile options for
building RCS on your system.
8) man pages reside in doc/man.
9) Troff source for the paper "RCS A System for Version Control", which
appeared in Software Practice and Experience, can be found in "doc/rcs.ms".
