When GNU diffutils is used with RCS you can use the following: rcsiff -q --brief file foo.txt
It prints one line if the files differ: Files foo.txt 2005/08/25 15:53:46 1.1 and foo.txt 2005/08/29 20:38:13 differ If you want the other features of `cmp', like byte differences, you can always run the following on individual files: co -p foo.txt | cmp -b - foo.txt /a On Mon, 29 Aug 2005, Brian AF Taylor wrote: > Good Day: > > It would be great to have an rcs utility such rcscmp which performs > similarly to rcsdiff however using cmp features.
