Ville,

I have included the output from the version and greps below.

I downloaded the tools from GNU and compiled them myself.

I agree about the hack.  I would prefer to use cvsweb.cgi in the normal=

config.

Thanks again for your help.

GNU diff has --version, and the following hack should display the
version of diff that rcsdiff invokes:

   rcsdiff -r1.1 -r1.2 --version techtool_archive.pl,v

Additionally, on my RH9 box and FreeBSD 4.9-pre:

   $ strings /usr/bin/rcsdiff | grep /diff
   /usr/bin/diff

I don't know how to extract the rcs version number from rcsdiff,
"strings /path/to/rcsdiff | grep Id" contains some information.

Where did you download the tools from?  Did you compile them yourself?

It's probably possible to add a hac^H^H^Hworkaround for this to
cvsweb.cgi, but I'd like to first verify that it's needed, and under
what conditions.
