NAME
       rcs2log - generates a changelog from RCS files


SYNOPSIS
       rcs2log [OPTION] ... [FILE ...]


DESCRIPTION
       rcslog  generates  a  change log from RCS files, which can
       possibly be located in a CVS repository, and  outputs  the
       new  change  log to standard output.  If no FILE is speci-
       fied, rcs2log will use  the  files  registered  under  the
       working  directory.   The  change  log prefix can be later
       copied to the existing ChangeLog file.
