Patch for reliable rcs on win95

[Mikey]

All of my filesystems are mounted as binary, as I mentioned in my orig
post.

This has nothing to do with CR/LF. it's just the way win95 works, (at least
for Ron and I). I do have a funky Neptune motherboard, but linux dosen't
exibit this behaviour, or maybe linux is smart enough to handle it.

also I tested rcs (only one of the files that was giving me problems) under
DOS 6.22 djgpp, and it seemed to work fine, so I can only conclude that
it's 95's problem.
