[comp.unix.questions] SCCS tutorial

In response to the request for information about SCCS by
Pabbisetty.henr@xerox.com:

You might try the Support Tools Guide for your system (I use a Sperry/Unisys
5000/90, and SCCS is rather well-documented in our STG).  I might also suggest
the Nutshell Handbook series.  Their work on Managing UUCP and Usenet is
excellent, and if they do, in fact, have a guide for SCCS I can assure you it
will be worth reading.

I use SCCS quite a bit, as I am working on a BBS system with some friends; if
I can ever answer some of your questions, I'd be glad to do so.

Well, that's AT&T's name for the document describing, among other
things, SCCS - at least in some S5 releases prior to S5R3.  In S5R3,
it's called the Programmer's Guide - and in SunOS 4.0, which is what he
has, it's called Programming Utilities and Libraries (it's one of the
ones with orange divider tabs).
