first there is life, great, small or middling,
then death follows gauntly, no laughter, no riddling.
  the idea sought, then realized,
  the reality nought, deal re-apprised:
what ephemera the stone, the trifling, the piddling.

purple, lavender, lilla, red plus blue,
o profligate fungus, in parallel you grew!
  snarfing all the engineers DEC,
  sparsing their poor careers; blech!
then bedded the best of northwest, dawnless dew.

chains to the past, though strong, i can break them.
pains looming vast, though mine, i forsake them.
  begone, the s{l}ickness, of yesteryear!
  no longer a witness to tremulous fear!
fences holding fast, through time, i will make them.

Some platforms can't muster a C99 compiler:

  • SGI IRIX MIPS
  • (others?)


It would be nice if RCS were buildable with a C89 compiler only.  That used to be the case, but 5.8 lost the way, somehow.
