Thanks, I managed to trace the bugs down with dbx; they seem to be caused
by the differences in the Apollo UNIX and the SUNOS 4.0.  Also, I had already
tried using the system diff, but it didn't support the '-n' option being
used by RCS.  Anyway, I think I have it all working now -- thanks again for
the response,

Dave Regis
