Bug SCCS (Source Code)
Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone out there have experience using the SCCS source code in Unix? If so, can you recommend a good (user friendly) SCCS book for beginner users.

Thanks!

SCCS is an older package. RCS is similiar package that corrects some of the problems with SCCS. RCS is a better package and you might want to consider using it instead.

But this book describes both packages, so either way it would be a good book for you.

Realize that SCCS does not leave permissions on files to what you started with. If you are using it for scripts then it's going to remove the executable (rwx changes to rw- or just r-- ).

RCS or CVS do not do this.
