Subject: Forcing Next Revision When using RCS. 

When checking out a file, SMGR normally suggests the next revision and lets
you change it, eg, if you checkout 3.12, it suggest the next revision
should be 3.13.  

You can "force" the next revision to be a whole higher number, for instance
by putting in 4.01.   (bouncing up to next major number)   

Alas, under RCS this is not specfied on the checkout (co command) ; rather 
it is specified on the checkin.  (ci command)

Fortunately, SMGR remembers the new revision, and ergo we are able to modify
the relevant sources to supply the new revision at the right time. 

The relevant source changes are:
	stchkiex.i:
		 stchkiex.i 1.6 97/05/06
	stchkoex.i:
		 stchkoex.i 1.6 97/05/06

And they can be obtained from:
	www.mnopltd.com/upd18.tar

And they can be extracted by:
	cd $SMGRHOME/xsrc/inc
	tar xvf upd18.tar

And you can compile the whole mess by:
	cd $SMGRHOME
	bin/recompile
