I compiled rcs v5.7 from source and it ran without any problems
under NT 4.0.  There was only a small problem with checking
in/out text files because ci and co always open the working
file in binary mode so that you end up with a rcs file with
embedded ^Ms or a working file with bare newlines.  I fixed
this by adding a -a option for ascii mode to ci and co.

I can send you the patch if you are interested.
