At the risk of being told to ftp the source and look for myself, does
anyone know how RCS deals with binary files?  Does it attempt to store
deltas or does it store complete copies of each revision?  If it does
store deltas, what method(s) does it use to compute the deltas?  A
brief e-mail response would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Duane.
