Version 4 of RCS is now available from arthur.cs.purdue.edu in
pub/RCS/rcs.tar and pub/RCS/rcs.tar.Z. The latest version is
distributed under the same licensing policy as FSF software. It is
known to work on Suns (mc68000 and sparc) under the 3.x and 4.x
releases of Sun OS as well as on VAXen and other 4.2/4.3 based
systems. This version is in substantially better shape than the
version currently distributed with 4.{2,3} BSD derived systems.

How does the "Version 4" relate the "Version 4.1" and patches that have been on uunet for quite a while. Is this something new and different or just confusion?

Actually, I was a bit loose with my use of Version. The RCS on uunet is old. In fact, all versions currently available are old with respect to the version currently on arthur. I added a line to the README file to indicate that this is version 4.2. To those sites currently offering RCS for anonymous uucp/ftp: please get the new version from arthur. -- Thomas Narten narten@cs.purdue.edu or {ucbvax,decvax}!purdue!narten
