there are probably lots of things that meet this description.  all the
games, for example.

fwiw, i use rcs all the time, and cvs almost never, hence, i am
opposed to the idea of removing rcs from basesrc.  when working in a
small group, rcs is fine.  removing both source code revision control
systems from basesrc would be bad.

i guess i wouldn't mind so much if someone wrote wrapper scripts for
cvs that emulated the rcs commands.  :)
