How very strange.  My RCS on 6.5 does understand long filenames.  As far
as I know I'm not running unsupported software (my RCS revs are the same
as found on a series 800 that installed from product tapes).  If I try
the same thing on a short filename file system I get:

ci error: RCS filename, abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvqxyz,v, is too long. Please resolve
ci aborted

I don't work on the HP-UX product, so don't take my statements as
official word from HP.
