Re: GNU RCS & mks/RCS

[Paul Sander]

I have successfully used Gnu RCS on RCS files created by MKS RCS.  Two
points:  You may have to rename the RCS files to be compatible with Gnu,
and Gnu won't work if the RCS file contains binary data.  You should be
fine if the contents of the RCS file is ASCII text.

Would anyone know if I had a system using mks/RCS .. could I use GNU RCS
for continuing to maintain revisions or would have to start over and
lose my history?  I am very new to RCS so hopefully I have expressed
what I am looking for.  Basically.. I need to move source from a NCR box
using mks/RCS to a Sun box which only has RCS compiled on it.
