If all the person wanted to do was pull in stuff from an RCS repository 
in to a different SCCS such as CVS or Subversion, there is absolutely no 
need to compile RCS from source. The other SCCS will have a tool or 
instructions on how to accomplish that task. IIRC, my pocket guide to 
CVS had infomation on how to pull in data from RCS.

If this person who wants RCS is just starting out in programming and/or 
the use of version control, RCS is a good place to get the basics down. 
It would make it easier when they are ready to make the move to CVS or, 
better still, Subversion.
