RCS is also available for DOS free of charge via anonymous FTP from
Berkeley and other distribution sites.  It is available for DOS from
the Free Software Foundation.

The version-4 product sold by MKS is in fact a port of the same RCS
distributed by Free Software Foundation, initiated before the copyleft
on version 5.

I'd suggest that $995 is a bit much to pay for a 5-user license when
improved software can be gotten free of charge.

For a directory of Gnu software ported to DOS, ftp to vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu
or ocf.berkeley.edu.  I'm busily porting various packages to SCO Unix,
with varying degrees of success.
