-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RCS 5.6.7.4 (a source code revision control system) for MS-DOS and
OS/2 has been re-released again, this time with a fix for the
32-bit OS/2 executables, which did not function correctly in all
situations with the last public release.  They are much faster now too.
Also, the DOS extender runtimes have been updated.

First few lines from the README file:
