SCCS to RCS conversion

[Ian Lochray]

We currently do all out source code control using SCCS. We have abour 300 SCCS directories and a total of about 32,000 SCCS files. We may have to move from using SCCS to using RCS (it's a long story) and I am looking in to how we would do this.
Does anyone know if there are any facilitoes for converting from SCCS to RCS and what kind of things can be transferred (file deltas, comments, what strings etc)?

If I were going to do this then I would actually convert to CVS which sits on top of RCS but you can install CVS temporarily and it includes a C shell script "sccs2rcs" which should do just what you want. This utility is found in the cvs/contrib directory.

sccs2rcs was just what I wanted. Thank you.
