Those all work for RCS as well. Here's my favorite addition: (global-set-key "\C-xv-" 'ediff-revision) although I could never figure out why (setq ediff-revision-key "-") doesn't have the same effect by itself. > And all the buffers created by the above can be edited with the full > power of emacs. Why bother going out to a command line? VC is so great I never even learned to use the RCS commands. :-( -- Kevin Rodgers
