Linux distributions also package the same version. I use the stuff from rcs57pc1.zip, at ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/ The package includes also comparison tools cmp, diff, diff3, sdiff as win32 versions. I suppose one would need to recompile if 64-bit versions were needed. The setup I mentioned was just setting RCSINIT to -x,v although I don't remember now why I needed that.
