The SCCS distributed with System V is infinitely superior to the one
distributed with BSD, for one simple reason - the one distributed
with BSD doesn't exist.  The "sccs" front-end command is distributed
with 4BSD, but none of the SCCS commands are.  (This raises an
interesting question about "dual-universe" systems - do they supply
the "sccs" front end only in the 4BSD universe and the SCCS commands
only in the System V universe, and if so can the "sccs" front end use
the SCCS commands?)
