Sequent distributes RCS with their systems (binary only).  Alliant distributes
SCCS with their systems, but I'm told that they actually use RCS in house.  I
wrote to Walter Tichey (the author of RCS) for permission for me to bring RCS
up on KAI's Alliant FX/8 as well.

Someone on campus at University of Illinois did some comparisions between
revision control systems. I forget what program it was that was chosen as the
best, but I do remember that RCS was better rated than SCCS.
