Hi all,

just downloaded RCS 5.7 for DJGPP v2 and installed it. It works beautifully 
for text files but not for binary files (which the Unix version can handle). I 
can check in a binary file using
  rcs -i -kb binfile.doc
  ci binfile.doc
and check it out again
  co -l binfile.doc
This works fine. But when I make a change and want to update the file ci 
returns with
  'Unexpected EOF from diff command'
The diff command I'm using is the DJGPP v2 diff util (diffutils 2.7) which 
should be able to handle binaries...

Any ideas?

TIA,

JJ
