Thanks for the reply!
I tried adding the -kb option but it didn't like that:
D:\Profiles\{me}\Desktop\RCS_Test>ci -kb -i Test.ppt
RCS/Test.ppt <-- Test.ppt
ci: Test.ppt: warning: can't find a date
ci: Test.ppt: warning: can't find an author
ci: Test.ppt: warning: can't find a state
ci: RCS/Test.ppt: Symbolic name `b' is undefined.
Regarding installation, I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I saved the
3 zip files from http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/RCS/ and simply
extracted them to an RCS folder. I didn't see any setup file to run or
anything. I'm hoping I can just use the provided binaries rather than
having to recompile????
>From other searches, it looks like the issue might be related to the diff
and some issue with which one is being used???
Thanks for any help you can give me!!!
