I always create it in any directory where I use RCS, and haven't seen any problems. I suggest you to stick with the subdirectory method. The version-control support in Emacs has some complicated logic to determine where are your master files kept, and I won't be surprised if some of it fails due to DOS 8+3 file namespace and the shell features that some of the version-control commands use. Since I don't trust RCS to work on DOS without the special subdirectory, I never bothered to look deep enough into the Emacs support code.
