This directory contains sources and documentation for RCS.

RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of files.
RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge revisions.
It is useful for files that are revised frequently,
e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.

See the following files and directories for more information.

	COPYING - copying conditions
	CREDITS - authorship information
	NEWS - recent changes, and possible future changes
	man - sources for manual page entries
	rcs.ms - troff source for the paper `RCS--A System for Version Control'
	rcs_func.ms - brief overview
	src - sources for programs
	src/INSTALL - compilation and installation instructions
	src/version.c - the version number of this release

If you lack troff, you can get GNU groff to format the documentation.

The standard distribution is for Posix and Unix hosts.
DOS, OS/2 and VMS ports are available in separate, experimental distributions.
