As is CVSNT, which includes RCS emulation that ought to work with LyX (though I haven't tried it). There's also at least one port of GNU RCS to Windows, though I'm suspicious of it - back when I last used it, I had what appeared to be file-corruption issues. (It's hard to say, because they weren't reproducible, and it's possible they were caused by something else.) Plus the various Unixy-Windows options, such as Cygwin. For that matter, it's not hard to port RCS to Windows. I ported it to MS-DOS, Windows 3.0, and various versions of OS/2, back in the day. (I also built a distributed version with an OS/400 client. Ah, memories.) But in any case it's easy to get the command-line binaries for all of those version-control systems for Windows. All my Windows machines have both CVSNT and Subversion installed. (I don't bother with Tortoise or other GUI clients; I like to work from the command line for most things. LyX is one of the few exceptions.) -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric & Writing, Michigan State University
