Is there a quick way to get SCCS to unedit all files which haven't been
modified? My problem is this: I do an SCCS edit of the SCCS directory, which
has on the order of 20 files. I do some testing of the system defined by
these files, in the process modifying *some* of them. When I get done, I want
SCCS to delta the modified ones, but just unedit the others.
What I do now is to run sccs diffs on all 20 files. If the file has been
changed, I inform the user (me) of the changes and delta it, letting the user
supply the comment; otherwise I just unedit the file. The trouble is that
some of these files are quite long, and it takes a long time to run sccs
diffs. It occurred to me that I could examine the time of last modification
of the p-file and the "gotten" file, and only run sccs diffs if the gotten
file has a later date of modification. It then occurred to me that this is
what "make" is supposed to do, and maybe I could get "make" to do all this for
me. Now if I just had one or two files, I suppose the Makefile could have
entries like this ("p.foo" is in the directory SCCS, and "foo" is in the next
higher directory; the Makefile is assumed to be in the SCCS dir):
p.foo: ../foo
-if `sccs diffs ../foo` ; \
sccs unedit ../foo ; \
else ; \
sccs delta ../foo ; \
fi
The problem is, I have 20 or so files, and add a new file from time to time;
so I would have to add a new procedure in my Makefile each time I add a new
file. This looks like what make's implicit rules for suffixes were made for,
except that this time it's a prefix (p.), not a suffix, and there are no
implicit rules for prefixes.
Am I missing something? Or should I just bite the bullet and use
"find -name -newer" with "for[each]" in a [c]shell script to create my own
version of make?

I use my scripts exclusively (when I need something else I hack it in) and never have to deal with the sccs interface. I've got about 12 meg of code, docs, etc which I keep SCCSed for sanities sake (I'm not a neat person by nature :-). I posted the doc file and the scripts (csh, if you want sh I'll give you my attempts, but some sh hacker code do a better job) to net.sources.
