ETA was evaluating Historian, but had not begun production use of it, at the
time the company closed.  EOS development used Apollo's DSEE for source code
control and system builds.  One development team had reached the point of
using DSEE and Historian in parallel as part of the evaluation, but it had
not received wide exposure.

I believe that the Native Unix group used traditional SCCS-family tools.
