question regarding SCCS internals

  If I were doing sccs over, I'd make two changes... when I added a
(delta) file I'd reset the modified time of the s file to the time of
the file added. When I extracted (get) a file I'd reset the time of
that, too.

  sccs can really be a PAIN when used with make, unless you keep the
extracted files handy. Of course, having make pull writably copies of
all files from SCCS doesn't help.
