If the interface is consistent with UNIX&nbsp;RCS you have to provide the
lock parameter to make the file editable.

<P>A normal co - command gives you the latest copy.

<P>To retrieve the latest version and make it editable give: co -l &lt;filename>

<P>Regards,

<P>I don't have this problem. I just do C-x C-q and the file is
<BR>editable. Do C-x C-q again and the file is checked in and is
<BR>read-only.

<P>> Second problem I have that RCS seesm to get files confused with

<P>I haven't seen this problem. I wonder if RCS is confused
<BR>by the ..rcs/RCS structure in your archive directory. It expects
<BR>to find archive files in a subdirectory named rcs. I don't know
<BR>whether case is important.
