   Our development group composed of 6 engineers would like to 
   integrate EMACS with the SCCS utility.  We are developing on
   Sun Common LISP and our platform will be SPARC's.  We would like
   the interface to the SCCS utility to be as transparent as possible.
   For instance, it would be nice if checking in/out files would be as 
   easy as invoking find-file/write-file.

I am catching up on this group so maybe an answer has already been
published.  Anyway, I wrote a package for SCCS that is very simple and
transparent to use.  I posted it about a year ago and other have
hacked it for use with RCS.

It preserves the current location in the file (as much as possible)
and works properly with parse-error.

I can email it or post it again if there is enough interest.
