  Why not post the orginal RCS or atleast port it to MINIX. It is public domain
and I think available from the source achives. It is distributed in the
/usr/src/new part of BSD Unix, which I believe contains the User contributed
stuff. The only non public part is diff, but there are PD versions of that
around.

  If someone could volunteer to maintain an RCS tree of all the major versions
of MINIX it would help the job of coordinating the work done on it. Otherwise
I fear that a lot of effort will be lost as it will not be combinale with
other changes. I am not volunteering, at least not until I start using MINIX.
