For routine simple use, that is true, although the difference is not very
significant.  People who know how to write shell scripts can mimic RCS
commands using SCCS utilities, or do even more useful things.

This is quite misleading.  I haven't seen "volumes" on SCCS, but it is
easy to use for routine purposes.

	admin -iFILE s.FILE	# create archive
	get s.FILE		# check out latest version for use
	get -e s.FILE		# check out for editing
	delta s.FILE		# check edited version back in
