If prcs is just using rcs files behind the scenes, it is actually really 
easy to convert to a CVS repository. And then you can just use regular 
"cvsps-import" or tailor, or other tools.

If prcs layers more information on top that you want to maintain, then 
we can look at how we want to do it. Tailor was written to support lots 
of front/back ends. So it should be easier to add support, but the final 
conversion isn't usually as good.

Maybe you could give a bit more detail about PRCS?
