project source managment using sccs & make

[Sam Christie]

Dear netreader:

	I am trying to administer a reasonably large ( ~2000 ) set of source
files which will make up a single product.  We are using the SCCS
tools and MAKE which are part of System V.3.2.  We have been able
to force fit our system into these tools, but it is not pretty.
I suspect that we are not applying the tools correctly.  We
wish to make the system as painless to use as possible, but still 
keep reasonable control on the revisions.  As it stands, we have good
revision management, but the make program doesn't do what it should for us
and is non-trivial to set up as the defaults are useless.

	Spelling out the details would be a large posting, so...
Is there some kind person who will point out the obvious.  If there
is an article on the correct application of these tools, or someone
willing to coach via e-mail or ( best) spend thirty minutes on the phone
( our bill of course ), please send e-mail to:
