Has anyone tried using the Windows NT\95 port of GNU RCS?
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc1.zip 

First problem I have is that when I checkout (co) a file, it is
write-protected - is this meant to happen? Surely this is the file you
want to edit...

Second problem I have that RCS seesm to get files confused with
directories (or vice-versa?):

"rlog: f:/Archive/rcs/RCS/index2.html,v: Not a directory"

I have been trying to use RCS via Emacs 19.34.6 and have already read
the comments on modifying vc.el in the Win95 Emacs FAQ, but no one
else seems to mention this problem...Can anyone help?

Paul
