I've used both SCCS and RCS and I like RCS much better.

This is available under the software engineering directory on
gatekeeper.dec.com with ftp.


By the way, my copy of the RCS doc was apparrently stored under RCS and
because everywhere where they try to describe an RCS expansion macro
(last modification date etc.) what shows up in the doc is not the macro
but its expansion! I quote:

To obtain such identification place the marker
	$Header: /usr/src/local/bin/rcs/dist/RCS/rcs.ms,v 1.1 89/10/30 15:54:06

Does anybody know where I can find a list of the unexpanded macros?

Humorous side note:  Two years ago I had the same problem with the SCCS
doc
	that came with my MicroPort UNIX V 386.  I've NEVER seen the macro doc
	in a useful form.
