As far as I know, RCS hasn't been updated since 5.7 which is about 10
years old now. Linux distributions also package the same version. I
use the stuff from rcs57pc1.zip, at ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/

The package includes also comparison tools cmp, diff, diff3, sdiff as
win32 versions. I suppose one would need to recompile if 64-bit
versions were needed.

The setup I mentioned was just setting RCSINIT to -x,v although I
don't remember now why I needed that.
