What I tried first was: rcs -nREL1.5 *.c but I discovered that that doesn't work at all: it tries to DELETE the name (and, of course, it can't find any such, so it mostly does nothing at all). The "-nNAME:REV" is no help at all since the files are all at different revisions. What I really need is a command that says: "Here's a name, please stamp the CURRENT revision of all of these-here files with this name" There must be a trick or a switch or something that I'm missing...
