Thanks for all the responses.
To surmise:
SCCS is outdated and effectively replaced by RCS. RCS is popular and seems to do everything I require. CVS is based on RCS but enhanced for multi-developer use (e.g. it will let files be concurrently edited and attempt to merge the files later). Very popular with large open-source projects.
As I don't need the multi-developer stuff, RCS is probably the way to go; but I'm going to take a further look at CVS. And Subversion.
Thanks again
Ray

Subject: OT: Unix Version Control
Slightly off-topic, but relevant to anyone who uses bespoke scripts on Unix.
I've got a bunch of SQL, ksh and perl scripts that I want to organise, archive and delete where obsolete. I'd like to get these into some sort of version control repository (rather than the .old .bkp .date etc "system" currently employed) and I was wondering what systems (if any) you use. SCCS? RCS? CVS? I'd like it to be scriptable, and easily portable as I carry scripts from site to site.
Recommendations/experiences/gotchas gratefully received.
Ray
