I'm using it here and have developed a couple of CI scripts to get around some
of the problems.  On the upside, the price is right and RCS is a fairly
well-designed, nice-to-work-with system.  On the downside, it doesn't integrate
nicely with Qedit files (that's one thing I've worked hard to fix in my
scripts) and it doesn't require you to checkout a file to work on it.  In Un*x,
RCS can chmod the file so that it is read-only, but that doesn't really bother
MPE at all.  Beyond that, I'm fairly happy with it.  I'd be glad to send you
the latest versions of my scripts if you wish.

          ==========================================================
10th August 1851: On Tuesday evening at Museum, at a ball in the gardens.
The night was chill, I dropped too suddenly from Differential Calculus into
ladies' society, and could not give myself freely to the change. After an
hour's attempt so to do, I returned, cursing the mode of life I was
pursuing; next morning I had already shaken hands, however, with Diff.
Calculus, and forgot the ladies....
