SCCS has always been shipped with HP-UX.  A tutorial is included in the
manual set as well.  Another system called RCS (Revision Control System)
is also provided.  See rcsintro(5) in the HP-UX Reference for a description.
Commands include rcs(1) to manipulate RCS files, rcsdiff(1) to compare two
versions, rcsmerge(1) to merge two descendents of a common version into a
single new version, co(1) and ci(1) to check out and check in a given
version, etc.  I like RCS better, mainly because I've used it more and
it stores the most recent version with deltas to derive earlier versions
whereas SCCS stores the original and uses deltas to derive subsequent
versions.
