If anyone can point me to the _source_ to sccstorcs, please email.  It
isn't amoung all the RCS sources which I have scoffed up.

I don't know where sccstorcs can be found, but one group within Data
General found a bug in it:  if you use the sccs command rmdel to
delete a delta, it appears that the delta is not actually removed from
the s. file, but just marked so it is never used.  The sccstorcs
program does not handle that case.

Are tools available to convert SCCS s.files to RCS format
including extracting change comments into the Log etc?

Thanks,

Bill

A while ago I posted a C-shell script file that does just this
to comp.sources.misc.  I'll send it to anyone who wants it,
just e-mail me.

Caveat:  it operates by checking in and out each revision...SLOW
