Last week at the UKUUG meeting in London the following paper was presented:

	"Development of a Distributed Revision Control System (DRCS)"
	by Brian O'Donovan and James Grimson, Dept. of Computer Science,
	Trinity College, Dublin 2, Rep. of Ireland.

The summary says that copies of DRCS are available free of charge from
the authors.  It is a modification to release 4.1 of RCS that consisted
of deleting 1,100 lines of code and inserting 1,786 new lines.
