Understood... although I think there are some win ports of RCS

 http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cyclic-pages/rcs.html

.... but no idea about compatibility with GNU RCS.

At best, could be optional.

I don't think you confused me - more that I moved slightly off topic...

In prev msg you said:
"If you're supporting users who share large PowerPoint presentations or
Word documents, you're going to eat up some serious diskspace and,
potentially, incur substantial additional storage costs."

I think you were refering to storage space costs associated with
multiple backup copies versus diffs?  ...but I went off at a tangent;
Your comments reminded me that currently, any user may keep uploading
until they fill all available space on the disk.

Is that correct understanding?

PS I've just discovered and  DL'd 0.30-branch and can see some of my
earlier comments are redundant :-)
