Hello,

I am having a bit of a problem with rcs that a search through dejanews
offered no enlightenment.

In short I cannot create an rcs file, using "rcs -i" or "ci", on a
Win95's network drive.  In particular we are using Maestro's NFS software
to connect to various UNIX hosts.  I can co/ci existing rcs files that
live on the UNIX hosts, but I cannot create a new file.  The djgpp tools
complain about "ENODEV: no such device".

I am using the tools in rcs5713b.zip.  From the name of the zip file,
one would think it is patch 13 to rcs-5.7.  However, when I say "rcs -V"
it tells me rcs-5.7 path 11 softlinks.

I'd appreciate any pointers to resolving this problem, as I'd very much
like to share our existing rcs archives with Win95 machines.
