Few month ago, I had ported RCS 3.? to DOS and got it to work ok with
MKS Toolkit's diff.exe.  It was pretty easy, once you decide how to deal
with DOS's filename limitations.  I hadn't really tested it thoroughly, so 
I don't know if my port was any good.   If GNU diff supports -n option, 
perhaps someone can port the latest version of RCS to DOS.  

Any takers?  I had planned on doing it when I have more spare time...
