 A port of the Unix RCS utility is downloadable as:
 <http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/gnuish/rcs57pc2.zip&name=rcs57pc2.zip>
 (executable)
 <http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/gnuish/rcs57pc1.zip&name=rcs57pc1.zip>
 (source)

 This version of RCS is no longer limited to one-character extensions on
 filenames (for example, .CPP and .BAS are now OK).

 As for commercial software, I posted a question asking for readers'
 experiences in July 1993 and seven readers responded. PVCS from
 Intersolv (formerly Polymake) got five positive reviews, though several
 readers commented that it's expensive; RCS from MKS got one positive and
 one negative review; Burton TLIB got one negative review; DRTS from ILSI
 got one positive review.

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
