Carl,

A DOS RCS was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc last Aug-Sep, 1990.  I'm
reasonably certain that it's ver 4.3 of RCS.  The names were:

	Name          Vol	Iss
	--------      ---	---
	dosrcsex	7	145	Executables using GNU diff & sort
	dosrcsmp	7	144	Man pages
	dosrcss		7	269	Source code
	mksrcsex	7	151	Executables using MKS diff & sort

Actually, mksrcsex has been renamed at the request of Mortice Kern Systems
in order to avoid comflicting with their commercial release of RCS for DOS.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the revised name.

A port of RCS 4.3 for OS/2 was posted to comp.binaries.os2 in Nov, 1990:

	rcs43x		2	045

Hopefully, this will help.

Regards, Larry
