- If you install RCS on an aix machine, put the binaries somewhere other
- than /usr/bin.
-
- There is a shell script that is run at boot time, which tries to execute the
- program /etc/merge. It does not use an absolute path name, though, and
- has /usr/bin in its path before /etc. So, if you install RCS in /usr/bin,
- you will get the RCS merge instead of /etc/merge, and from our experience
- this is not an acceptible substitution.
