Martien,
	I too had this problem.  As I recall, I solved it by switching to
gnu-diff, available in various places, probably including simtel.  It's
better than others, has more options, is probably faster, but takes up
a tad more space.  That having been said, it would have been thoughtful
for those posting PC-RCS to include a README file stating some of these
groundrules.  The docs that come with the package appear to be direct
clones of unix-diff man pages and have NO concessions to dos differences
and/or shortcomings.  Otherwise, I like having RCS on my dos machines.
	Good luck.

  Now what do I do?  The vacuum leaked out of my Klein bottle.
