RCS is available for FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38).  It is
currently up to revision 5.5 and is backwardly compatible through
version 3.x.  The RCS documentation also recommends you get a hold of
GNU's diff while you're there to make RCS a bit faster.

I've been using it for the past month or so with no complaints or
problems.

Eric

PS: While you're there, also get Emacs, Awk, Groff, Ghostscript, GCC,
    G++, GAS, GDB, ... :-)
