I have not used RCS but I incorporate revision strings in my source files
by including the following line for C source files:

/****************************************************************************
 Copyright 1990 Your company name
 %W%, Date %G%
*****************************************************************************/

Assuming the source file is named foobar.c  the above line %W%, Date %G%
will expand to
        @(#)foobar.c  1.7, Date 10/22/90
                      ^ ^
Major revision--------! !
Minor revision----------!

This expansion is done when SCCS checks a file back into the database.
