background: due to MSDOS's wonderful 8.3 character limit for filenames,
	it makes porting version control programs from unix to dos
	a little more interesting.

I was just starting to recompile and poke around the RCS source code
to see if I could hack a work around for the 1 char extension
when I happened to read the FAQ for this newsgroup (oct 20 1992 version)
and it mentioned that there is a version that fixes this annoyance,
but the informer could not remember the ftp site.
 
1 char extension limit (for example source files .ASM, .CPP, .HPP).
Has the ftp site for this version been confirmed by anyone?

So far, I have located version of RCS55 with a makefile for microsoft C,
and a version that was made for borlandC, but I have not found that
version with the fix for one char extensions.

If anyone here knows where it is, please post the site.

Also, I was thinking about modifying RCS to use alternate directories
for storing logfiles (instead of being restricted to ./RCS or .) by
using an environment variable to specify the directory, or like
PVCS, use a config file in the current directory that contains a
list of source path for logfiles. Before I begin reinventing the
wheel, has anyone else already done this, or is interested in 
collaborating with me on this little project?
