I have fixed the problem with gnu_diff so that RCS works with files
created with edt and eve.  I even asked one of my co-workers, Rich
Guendelsberger, to beta test rcs for me.  The fix was in io.c in
slurp().  I had to change 2 read()'s to fread()'s to make slurp()
work with edt and eve files.

I have also sent the fix to mark.berryman@mvb.saic.com.  He and his
company are keeping the spring90 and fall90 decus tape ONLINE.  Mark
will compile and link gnu_diff and put it with the rest of rcs on
his machine.  This should be ready in a day or two or three.

I also have the kind assistance of UVA.  They will keep the source
only on the unix machine ftp.virginia.edu for anonymous.ftp.

/pub/vms is the location.

The files are:

-rw-r--r--  1 root     other      107520 Mar 18 08:27 diff.arc
-rw-r--r--  1 root     other      203776 Mar 18 08:27 rcs.arc
-rw-r--r--  1 root     other       72192 Mar 18 08:27 rcsdoc.arc

Notice that these are ARC files.  SEA ARC is available for vms, ms-dos
and AT&T sys v.  This seemed a reasonable choice for storing vms C code
on a unix machine.
