You need to set the TZ (time zone) variable. As I know, the
OS/2-Version (of RCS) don't use the value, but it must
be set. I use 'set TZ=MET'. 

There is still another bug (or feature?) in the available 
port of RCS in conjunction with HPFS and long file names.
The RCS filename (xxx.y,v) shouldn't exceed 14 characters.
And you should never check in binary files.
