Actually, with BSD systems (4.2, 4.3 and SunOS anyway), there is a command called "sccs" that acts as a front end to the sccs command family and lets you keep all your sccs files in an SCCS directory.

And for anyone that isn't using a BSD system, I wrote a sccs csh
script that does pretty much everything that the BSD sccs does. It
doesn't support the PROJECTDIR variable (although it could), and it
doesn't run quite as fast but it works.
