vc (using RCS) seems seriously damaged.

Thanks for the report, Uwe.

I have since install cygwin rcs 5.7-3 on my Windows XP PC and tested a
bit with vc package version 1.42.

What are your relevant packages and versions?

I have noticed that, while I can perform
C-x v l runs the command vc-print-log
just fine on a pre-existing file, I cannot check the file out with
C-x v v runs the command vc-next-action

What I get is
co: RCS/RCS\\aliases-xemacs,v: No such file or directory

When I do
M-: (setq directory-sep-char ?/)
in the db.xemacs buffer, then I can check out that file.

Are you observing this problem too?
