I'd thought that ls would have an "exclude" option; it does, but only
for patterns and not for a static list.
So grep -v might help; pipe ls into a grep statement made up of the list
of files that *are* in RCS?

pseudo$ ls | egrep -v '^(notme|notmeeither|definatelynotme)$'

Consutucting that egrep line might not be nice, and beware of the
anchoring (otherwise the "notme" pattern would exclude "butnotnotme",
which wasn't named)
