  A co-worker recently sent a request to Dr. Tichy asking if RCS was
public domain.  The reply was that it is _not_.  Tichy wants to control
the distribution of RCS so that noone can sell it.

 One problem with RCS is that it uses Unix programs (diff, diff3) so that
you need a Unix license.  We wanted to use it for code control on all lab
machines, even our non-Unix ones.
