Hi,

When I try to use the RCS version controll system, I have the
following problems.  Suppose I have a file called 'foo', and I run the
command,

> ci foo
... (success)...

> co foo

Then the version of foo that (I thought) I checked out is not
writable.  Furthermore, if I now type

> ci foo

Then I still have foo and foo,v on my system, neither of which are writable.

Any ideas as to why this what is happening?

Also, with what port does RCS come?  Would it be simpler just to reinstall it?

Thanks for your time.

Yours truly,

  Tony Rieser
