This is $Revision: 1.7 $ of the MS RCS support directory.
It contains extra files useful for getting RCS 5.6.3 (and later versions)
to run under the Microsoft operating systems MS-DOS and OS/2.
This version has not been fully tested and it probably has problems.
If you get it to work, please send your fixes to rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu.
Known problems:

	rcsclean hasn't been tested.
	rcs.c's invocation of fstat() fails under MSC+MS-DOS.

The diff subdirectory contains a version of GNU diff 1.15 modified for
use under MS-DOS and OS/2.  Install GNU diff before tackling RCS.

Put this directory into the src\ms subdirectory of the RCS source tree,
so that this file becomes src\ms\README.

On a Posix or Unix host, run the following commands.
This has already been done in the distribution copy,
but you may need to repeat it if you change the source files.

	make -fmakefile.mk clean
	make -fmakefile.mk

On an MS-DOS or OS/2 host, run the following commands:

	make -fms\bor.mk -DBCC=0	# Turbo C 2.01
	make -fms\bor.mk -DBCC=2	# Borland C++ 2.0
	make -fms\bor.mk -DBCC=3	# Borland C++ 3.0
	nmake -f ms\nmake.mk OS=dos	# Microsoft C on DOS
	nmake -f ms\nmake.mk OS=os2	# Microsoft C on OS/2

To test RCS after you've installed it, make `installtest';
if this fails, make `installdebug' for detailed info.

See also ..\README, particularly the note about text_work_stdio.

which means that normally you must distribute sources whenever you distribute
executables; see COPYING.
