Hi,

I recently downloaded the djgpp port of RCS (rcs5317[sb].zip) for
testing and evaluation.

Walter Tichy's essay on RCS does not describe all of the options
that are available for each RCS command, and the rcs5713b.zip file
does not contain documentation.  The source for RCS man pages is
in rcs5317s.zip, however, so I used 'nroff -man' on a Unix box to
generate formatted man pages, which I then placed in djgpp/src/rcs-5.7/cat
and can access using the djgpp ports of `man' and `less'.

For those who generally d/l only the binaries of djgpp ports, perhaps
future releases of the djgpp port of RCS should include formatted
man pages in the binary package.  Just a suggestion....
