My version of RCS is 5.7.  I am not sure if I downloaded it from the Purdue
site (https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/RCShome/) or if it is the
binaries that were included with CS-RCS.  (I think on one PC it is the
former, and on the other it is the latter.)

I haven't had any version control after CS-RCS stopped working.  (Not much
coding lately.  I have been creating manual backups, i.e. foo v1.4.txt.)

CS-RCS saves files in the standard RCS format.  When I set CS-RCS up, I
chose a network drive as my repository because it gets backed up
regularly.  Now, trying RCS commands in a CMD prompt doesn't seem to find
network locations.  That is why I am looking for the correct syntax for
specifying both the work file and RCS file.
