Can I use djgpp to compile the gnu rcs package 'straight out of the
box'.
I want it to cope with muiltiple developers on a Novell LAN.

I was using the pc port of rcs in gr564b.zip but the diff command runs
out of real memory really quickly with large text files (70K-200K)
whereas the dos FC command copes happily. (I've got 24M)

I don't know what it was compiled with but djgpp may save me some
headaches here.

I've just spent two weeks implementing a configuration management around
the pc port of rcs so I desperately want 'diff' working 'yesterday'.

Post & email if possible. Cheers.

Regards,

Andy L
