The solution to using RCS with XENIX is getting GNU diff.  It works,
but there are a couple of things you shuold be aware of.  First, it
uses lots of memory.  It does it's work in core instead of on the
disk.  Secondly, to compile GNU diff, you need alloca.  I used the one
from GNU EMACS, and it seems to work fine.  

As always, your mileage may vary. . .
