Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone uses the DOS port of the RCS utility, for
managing project versions. I downloaded
the binaries  (rcs5713b.zip) and installed them. I then tried them out,
following the man documentation.
    Imagine t.c is my file.
    I did :
    * 'md RCS' (to create the necessary dir for the versions)
    * 'ci t.c' (to store the initial version)
    * 'co -l t.c' (to retrieve the version in locked state so I could modify
it)
    * I made a few changes to the file
    * I tried to store the new version with 'ci t.c', but the following
error was issued after I typed the log text :
       'diff - Unknown signal
       ci aborted'

    Did I miss something? Thanks in advance,
