Problem with SCCS

I am having some problem while creating a new sccs file. During initial creation of the file the SCCS is not storing the file in actual format with the result that the SCCS file is different from my original file.


Any way to avoid this??

Hi

If you are looking to the sccs file i.e the s.originalfile then it's going to be different since the sccs file stores some more information then ur original file like the delta, the comments that you enter at the time of putting back the file into sccs, and also the time the file was deltaed etc etc...
you will have to get the file out of the sccs and then you will get the original file using sccs get -e filename or sccs get -r filename

Hope This Helps
