I recently moved all my development off of a Sun SPARCstation onto a
newly aquired NeXTstation.  After moving all of my source code over
to the NeXT and returning the SPARC ( it was on loan ) I've discovered
that my NeXT appears to be missing the SCCS utilities.  I did a find
on my hard drive ( 400 MB extended release ) and can't find it.  I
must have these utilities, all of my work is in SCCS libraries.  Is there
any way to get them for the NeXT ( preferably at no/low cost, I'm $5000
in the hole )?

Why doesn't the NeXT have SCCS. I was under the impression this was a
standard part of Unix.  Even if it isn't a standard Unix feature, why
does NeXT, a machine with reputation as a great development environment, 
lack it.

I also have a question about my hard drive.  From listening to this news
group, I expected it to be almost silent.  However, mine makes a soft, 
clearly audible, clicking noise.  Is there anything wrong with it?  
It actually is not as loud as most PC hard drives, but I was expecting
about as much noise as my roommates Mac IIsi makes (none).

Finally, I'd like to add my own kudos to the UMD Computer Emporium.  When
I received my NeXT, the monitor cable was bad, so they gave me the one off
their demo machine.
