i obviously didn't explain myself :-)

i have 1.1.1
i put it in rcs
THEN i get 1.1.47
so i put that in rcs
NOW i get 1.1.x where 1 < x < 47

how do i insert that inbetween 1.1.1 and 1.1.47?

not something you would normally do with sccs/rcs
but then again - writing detective stories was not what rcs was designed for
knowing how rcs stores the deltas i really can't see how it would doo it

can bitmover help?
