I believe SCCS was written by AT&T and that SCCS comes as standard on
System V UNIX systems. I believe you can *buy* SCCS from AT&T for a
significant price.

Most people I've spoken to have been using RCS to manage change
control on their documents.  RCS provides a tool, "sccstorcs" to allow
people to convert their files from the SCCS format into the RCS
format.

The latest version of RCS is 5.5 and is available for anonymous ftp
from arthur.cs.purdue.edu in their pub/RCS directory or from
uunet.uu.net in their pub/gnu directory.  One great advantage of this
version of RCS is that, when combined with GNU Diff, you can place
binary files, like .nibs and .tiffs, under change control.
