        !            26: This directory contains complete sources for version 4 of RCS.
        !            27: Version 3 was included in the 4.3 BSD distribution. Features include:
        !            28: 
        !            29: 1) Version 4 supports the "branch" keyword.
        !            30: 
        !            31: 2) Numerous bug fixes. In addition, RCS now runs on many more machine
        !            32: architectures, including Suns (3.x and 4.0), VAXen (4.2 and 4.3 BSD),
        !            33: and IBM PC-ATs (Xenix).
        !            34: 
        !            35: 3) Version 4 is backward compatible with version 3. Version 4 RCS will
        !            36: handle files checked in under version 3 (but not vice versa).
        !            37: 
        !            38: 4) This distribution is not supported in anyway. However, bugs and

        !            40: 
        !            41: 5) Older versions of diff do not support options used by RCS. It is
        !            42: known that 4.3 BSD, and SunOS 3.2 (and later releases) support the
        !            43: needed options. If your version of diff does not support these
        !            44: options, obtain the GNU diff from the FSF.

        !            47: 
        !            48: 7) All sources for RCS are contained in the "src" subdirectory. Read the

        !            54: 9) Troff source for the paper "RCS A System for Version Control", which
        !            55: appeared in Software Practice and Experience, can be found in "rcs.ms".
