+EditRCS is a library to with functions to read RCS files into Python
+classes Rcs and RcsDelta, and to manipulate them and write them to a new
+RCS file.
+
+It is intended to be used to manipulate RCS files in ways that the RCS tools
+don't support, but it requires some knowledge of how RCS files work rather
+than being a polished command-line tool.
+
+See rcsfile(5) for RCS file format definition.
+
+Example scripts in the examples directory include:
+
+checkout_start: print the earliest version of a RCS file to standard output.
+rcs_join: produce an RCS file with the history of one file followed by that of 
+          a second file.
+rename_user: replace an old user name with a new one for each revision checked
+             in by that user.
+pivot_branch: given a branch head and a first-level branch head off that, swap
+              the sub-branch and the main branch.
+
+Limitations: I'm going with the 5.9.2 version of the manpage, and ignoring 
+the newphrase in the earlier (e.g. 5.6) specifications for now.
+It is written to be simple rather than optimised for speed or space.
+
