Rvi is an interface to RCS. It attempts to make the process of using RCS simpler. Here is an extract from the rcs man page.

" The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, for example programs, documentation, graphics, papers, and form letters. "

See rcsintro(1) from more details.
