I've been in the process of installing RCS on a machine here but I'm having
a little problem with the ci / co commands.

If I create a file 'foo' and do a 'ci' command, it creates 'foo,v' branch 1.1.

Now when I do a 'co foo', I have branch 1.1.  All is ok so far.

Make changes to foo and do a 'ci -r1.1.1 foo'  No errors and a branch 1.1.1.1
is now in the foo,v file.  I would prefer 1.1.1 but can live with the 1.1.1.1.

Everything is just as I expected up to here.

At this time I do a 'co foo' thinking I will get branch 1.1.1.1 - surprise!
I have branch 1.1.

Hummmmm.... I cannot find a switch or command line option anywhere to fix
this problem (?).

Comments ?  Suggestions ?

HELP!
