Both GNU RCS 5.6.4.4 and 5.7 are available from the Virtually UNIX site:
http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/contributors.html
I'm currently using 5.6.4.4 and it seems to work fine just with USER set;
I don't need whoami or anything like that. I also seem to remember checking
in and out some small binary files and having no problems, but I do tend
to work fairly often in text mode, so I can't give a certain answer to your
second question.
