FTR, anyone still using 8.4 Solaris probably wants to prefer a
non-/usr/athena/bin version of the rcs tools (or, at least, rcsdiff),
so that rcsdiff -u works. I seem to recall some reason why the
watchmaker locker's RCS was preferable to the gnu locker's, but I
cannot remember what it was, and seem to recall it was strange and
confusing.
