Yes, MKS makes a DOS version of RCS.  It is 100% compatible with the Unix
version.  Now that I have Unix on my PC and RCS as well, I even grab the
MKS manual when I need to look up a command syntax.

The only difference is that DOS-RCS cannot add the ,v to the RCS files.  So,
if you transport the files to a Unix environment, the only thing that you
will have to do is add the ,v to each of the RCS files.

Excellent software, well worth the little bit they are asking for it.
