Re: RCS for WinNT

["Henrik Geleff" <hgeleff@spidernet.com.cy>]

 I think it is posible to compile RCS with the cygwin tools, I have tried
but not succeeded -- I think I did not try hard enough.

I know two sources of working binaries:

            http://www.componentsoftware.com/csrcs/

and

            http://www.mks.com/solution/si/


Don't tell me that both are comercial, I know, but they work and US $49 for
the Component Source solution is not alot !!!



Regards with the hope that it helps you
