A further note: You can also build the RCS 5.7 sources as a native Win32 app
with what's in the package (there's an extra pre-config'd makefile that
supports various DOS/Win32 compilers). This build handles the CRLF stuff
without any hassle (converts \n to \r\n on checkout and back to \n on
checkin). It also has allows a pseudo soft-link RCS directory (create a file
called RCS which contains the pathname of the appropriate RCS directory
where the archive files are really stored). I don't know how well these
Win32 versions would work w/ the stdio of cygwin (shell, etc.), though...

Thank you for the hints!

The solution was:
The RCS package in ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/devtools/
comes with with an enhancede version of "diff", which can compare files
in the DOS- and the UNIX-Style. The "diff" in CygWin can't do that.

After changing the sequence in my PATH enviroment variable all works
well.

I must confess, that there was a hint in the documentation of the
RCS-package, but I understood it only after reading your hints.

Thank you!

Greeting from Berlin
