+Edit a file with RCS
+
+This archive contains vic which is a simple wrapper around the editor of your
+choice to first check the file out of RCS, edit the file, and then checks the
+file back into RCS.
+
+There are safeguards to protect the user if the file is edited outside of RCS,
+and allows the user to get the RCS archive back up to date.
+
+You can edit multiple programs at a time with something like:
+	vic *.wc
+
+The editor name is drawn from the environment variables $VISUAL, $EDITOR, or
+(if all else fails) "vi".
+
+Also included is a simple program, show.locks, which shows all of the files 
+from the current directory which are currently locked.
+
+If you have files locked, but not currently being edited, you may want to do:
+    ci -u FILE
+    chmod a-w FILE
