- Sounds like a bug in your compiler. What (godforsaken) compiler are you
- using? I'm using RCS, under DOS & UNIX & now OS/2, and haven't had any
- problems on any of these platforms...
-
- A compiler shouldn't need to do more than read the file--so the fact
- that the files are read-only shouldn't (and doesn't, with any compiler
- I've seen) matter.

- >So, can anybody think of a solution to the RCS problem?
-
- Yes. Replace your compiler with one that isn't brain-dead.
