==== Description: ====
RCS is the Revision Control System.  It is already official GNU software
(http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/).

It is a precursor to CVS (and all the rest) still in active use all over the
place, primarily intended for keeping track of a single file.  It was one of
the first version control systems to be supported by GNU Emacs.

It is written in the C programming language.



==== Other Software Required: ====
RCS uses only libc.



==== Other Comments: ====
The URL for the tarball is the GNU one since this is already official GNU
software.  I am hacking on a local git repo (that includes the contents of
that tarball, as well as previous releases) that will be ready to push once
hosting is in place.

(BTW, the text field for the URL is very narrow.)

(BTW^2, RCS has no media files; the box is checked to get around the filter. 
Maybe you could have a radio button instead for projects that have no media
files?)



==== Tarball URL: ====
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/rcs/rcs-5.7.tar.gz
