Polytron's version of SCCS (PVCS) is great as long as you want to buy and  
integrate some of their other tools with it (PolyAWK, PolyMake, etc.) If  
you're just looking for a stand-alone RCS for DOS, Dave Burton's TLIB sells  
for much less and runs *much* faster. Both support networks and have all the  
expected bells and whistles. It's kinda like the difference between buying  
Microsoft C and Zortech C++ - Polytron vs. Burton is the same Goliath vs.  
David kind of situation... :-)
