Windows username with spaces in it
On
Windows, RCS tries to use the LOGNAME, then USERNAME environment variables as
the 'author' , if you can temporarily change one of them with the SET command,
then it will work.

There's a -w command-line option for the `ci` command that allows you
to "lie" about the value for author.
See the man page for more information

Modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit which
stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological
abundance. We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned
to swim the seas as fish, yet we haven't learned to walk the
earth as brothers and sisters. -- Dr. Martin King
