Preface

The following is a quick tutorial on using RCS starting with new files never previously combined in RCS. The tutorial will be short and quick. Important concepts will be overlooked and some fo the useful and powerful features of RCS will not be introduced. Instead, the general use of RCS is introdued to generate familiarity with the operations of RCS and the skills of version control.
