Both GNU RCS 5.6.4.4 and 5.7 are available from the Virtually UNIX site:

   http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/contributors.html

I'm currently using 5.6.4.4 and it seems to work fine just with USER set;
I don't need whoami or anything like that. I also seem to remember checking
in and out some small binary files and having no problems, but I do tend
to work fairly often in text mode, so I can't give a certain answer to your
second question.

I can answer that question.  I use RCS 5.6.4.4 on Win95
for text files and various binary files, i.e., FrameMaker
FASL files.  No problems... other than the usual one with
binary files -- your archives get pretty large rather quickly.


-- Dean

P.S. I believe you need GNU diff for 5.6.4.4 to work properly.
I'm using diff 2.5.  (Incidentally, I'm using rcs and diff 
that were not compiled using the Cygnus tools.)

From http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.htm#rcs:

  Is there a version of RCS and CVS for Win32?
  
  RCS
  
  There are a number of RCS x86 executables floating about. There is an
  "official" port of GNU RCS available, but it has the semantics that
  files are managed in CR/LF format. This causes problems if your files
  are shared with programs on Unix hosts (for more info, see Kai
  Rommel's message). The version of RCS in the Reed Kotler toolset, on
  the other hand, does not change the line format. Your call.
  
  The "official" port of GNU RCS can be found in the following places: 
  
     DOS, Win95/NT and OS/2 32-bit executables (including diff), as
     well as formatted documentation files: 
  
            ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc1.zip 
            ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc2.zip 
  
     OS/2 16-bit executables, source code and unformatted documentation files: 
  
            ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/rcs57pc1.zip 
            ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/rcs57pc2.zip 
  
  The Reed Kotler toolset can be found at http://www.reedkotler.com . 

Hope this helps.

I'm not quite sure wheter we talk of the same, but i understand rcs as
Revision Controll System, it is available from your favorite gnu-arcive.
and compiles on b18 wihtout any hassle (at least for me :)

There is a complete working implementation of RCS as part of the

Re: RCS for WinNT

[Henrik Geleff]

 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 !!!

RCS for WinNT

[sshteingold]

     I looked at this mailing list's archive and there were only 3 messages 
     about RCS - 2 about compiling it, and one requesting binaries. None 
     answered, so I repeat the question:
     Where can I get the working RCS binaries for winnt?
     I have the latest cygwin32 (rcs is not included), but neither who nor 
     whoami work:
     
     C:\home\sds>who am i
     who: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
     
     C:\home\sds>whoami
     whoami: cannot find username for UID 500
     
     (I have an environment var USER set, but apparently it's not enough).
     Also, I use binary (aka UNIX) file format (no CRLF, just LF). Will RCS 
     work with it? (someone claimed that RCS 5.6 converts everything to 
     text - aka DOS - file format)
     
     If possible, please send me a mail copy of your kind reply.
     Thanks.
