Re: Trouble with RCS 5.7

[Keith Hays]

Thank you for the fast response. However, I can not find the text
described below in the rcsintro(1) man page. Are you certain that the
reference is from RCS 5.7?

Also, the ci(1) man page and the O'Reilly book 'RCS and SCCS' both refer
to working with binary files.

Regards,
