RCS seems to want to find all *.txt,v files in an RCS subdirctory, but TWiki does not seem to be set up to use such. The only thing i've been able to find in RCS documentation is that if an RCS dir is there, it will be used, otherwise the ,v files are expected in the same dir as the "base" file. RCS 5.7 on NT does not do that as far as i've seen. I've otherwise been unable to find any configuration or flag info that would force this as desired.

If you're a Windows user using TWiki successfully with RCS, please show me how to fix this! I'm now getting past the point where i'm just playing with TWiki and need to deploy it for use - but if I can't get it to work, i'll have to use some other lesser Wiki software.

Heh, I answer myself.

I don't know if this works yet, but I found a source distribution of RCS for Windows and it had the following interesting info:

The rest has been moved to TWikiOnWindows

See WindowsInstallCookbook for details on how to get RCS working completely on Windows. There is no need to compile from sources any more, just use the CygWin RCS as per the cookbook.
