The docs for RCS are supplied as man pages.  Unfortunately, those man 
pages were omitted from the binary distribution rcs5713b.zip.  You can 
find them by downloading rcs5713s.zip.

Note that the man pages in rcs5713s.zip are unformatted, so you will
have to format them somehow.  The DJGPP FAQ explains how to do that in 
section 5.5.

Please note that the Version Control package which comes with Emacs 
supports CVS as well, so if you already have CVS installed, you could use 
it instead of RCS.  The functionality largely overlaps, as long as local 
repositories are considered (and the DJGPP port of CVS doesn't support
remote repository access via Internet anyway).
