Lines: 19 ********* I am looking for a solution to a rather challenging problem. I am hoping to use SCCS for version control of documents I am typesetting in TeX. The problem is, how to use SCCS version control sequences to create change bars (similar to those used in IBM documentation). This could be done in many ways and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas (or even, hope of hopes, has experience doing this). Does this need to know the internal format of SCCS files, or could SCCS just tell where the changes are? Any help will be gladly appreciated.
