I did that some time ago, and RCS works very nicely under Minix PC. 
I'll be bringing it up to the latest release of RCS shortly, and when
I've done that I'll be happy to post the diffs.

True enough.  I took the standard Minix diff and changed it slightly to
work with RCS.  It was a very simple change.

That's right, and so does mine, but the limit in file name lenght and
component characters is a pain...  :-)

This is where I haven't got it quite finished yet.  I don't have a
working diff3 under Minix, but then I haven't really missed it yet. 
Maybe later...
