I am starting to understand now that for that particular job i need to be ultra proficient with RCS and RCS related tools and how it can be used with scripts like rsh based shell scripts, perl, etc... (before anyone starts, yes i know RCS is also ultra limited, but that's what happens with legacy huge projects that no one wants to revise now). Are there some good manuals, books, articles, anything out there that can give me the edge on this? 10x.
