Perhaps someone could give me some help: I'm trying to used the
'named revision' stuff in RCS to make an `epoch' for the release
set for this program we're working on.  What I tried first was:
    rcs -nREL1.5 *.c
but I discovered that that doesn't work at all: it tries to DELETE
the name (and, of course, it can't find any such, so it mostly does
nothing at all).    The "-nNAME:REV" is no help at all since
the files are all at different revisions.

What I really need is a command that says:
  "Here's a name, please stamp the CURRENT revision of all of these-here
    files with this name"

There must be a trick or a switch or something that I'm missing...

Much thanks
