Well, `cvs annotate` looks like what you want.  The
documentation of the command
<http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.12.5/cvs_8.html#SEC79>
includes a very skimpy example of the output.  You could
write something following the example of cvs; source tree is
at <http://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/>, current
source of annotate.c is
<http://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/src/annotate.c?rev=1.12&content-
type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>.
Probably easier, just set up a cvs repository and copy in
your rcs file.  If this is a one-off task and you do not
want to learn about cvs, send me your rcs file, and I can
send back the output.

HTH,
Terry.
