sccs utility

Hi folks.

I need some help about sccs and its usage.
I have carried out the following tests but always got the error:

sccs: Cannot open directory /tmp/test/prova.
Check path name and permissions.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot

Your problem is the sccs check command. Try doing it without the test option, and it works. It will report all files being opened for editting...

You might look into RCS or CVS, btw. I've not used SCCS or seen it being used for the last 9 years! Nice to see some people still use it...
