GNU CSSC
What is CSSC?
CSSC is the GNU Project's
replacement for
SCCS.
SCCS is a proprietary suite of tools which is
provided with most commercial versions of
Unix. The purpose behind CSSC is to provide
a work-alike for SCCS which can be used on
the various
Free
versions of Unix.
What is SCCS?
SCCS was the only major form of source code
control on Unix platforms
for many years, until
RCS
came along. SCCS was an
effective method for small projects, but
these days is less popular, particularly for
projects involving large numbers of files.
A fair amount of old software is still in SCCS
form, and CSSC is designed to retrieve
that software.
Once retrieved, it is highly recommended to bring
the source under the control of more modern source
code control systems, such as
CVS
