Who is distributing it with their systems these days -- Sun and Alliant do not. I always thought RCS had more features and is faster then SCCS; why does Sun prefer SCCS? On what machines can I count on make supporting either RCS or SCCS? Sequent distributes RCS as part of their system. They are basically 4.2 based, altho they run Doug Gwyn's System V emulation, supporting parallel `universes' much like Pyramid does. Sequent also distributes GNU EMACS as User Contributed software. I don't know why SUN doesn't, altho they seem bent towards Unipress in a lisp distribution I saw. I guess vendors stick together.
