There certainly is no native RCS functionality to do this. However, we have been using lots of 'wrapper' scripts in conjunction with rcs native commands an I believe that this is probably the way to go. Such a script could perform the co and also the email, whether to a standard user or particular user based on what was checked out or maybe who did the checkout. BTW - we use Unix not windows

Not for checkout. Unfortunately not for checkin either. In the era when rcs was written this type of functionality was unknown in a version control system. The best that can be done is to monitor the vault files and look for changes. Changes could be detected when files are locked and mail sent out by an observer process. Bob
