NAME
       sccstorcs - build RCS file from SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
       sccstorcs [-t] [-v] s.file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Sccstorcs builds an RCS file from each SCCS file argument.  The deltas and comments for each delta are preserved and installed into the new
       RCS file in order.  Also preserved are the user access list and descriptive text, if any, from the SCCS file.

       The following flags are meaningful:

       -t     Trace only.  Prints detailed information about the SCCS file and lists the commands that would be executed to produce the RCS  file.
	      No commands are actually executed and no RCS file is made.

       -v     Verbose.	Prints each command that is run while it is building the RCS file.

FILES
       For  each s.somefile, Sccstorcs writes the files somefile and somefile,v which should not already exist.  Sccstorcs will abort, rather than
       overwrite those files if they do exist.

DIAGNOSTICS
       All diagnostics are written to stderr.  Non-zero exit status on error.

BUGS
       Sccstorcs  does	not  preserve all SCCS options specified in the SCCS file.  Most notably, it does not preserve removed deltas, MR numbers,
       and cutoff points.
