That explanation in that manual page is quite telegraphic, leaving several things unstated, so I have some clarification questions: 1. Does this apply equally to both "admin -i" and "get"? Including the (implicit) "get" performed by "delta"? And prs :GB:? [I assume yes in each case] 2. If a keyword is known to exist outside this range (e.g. because we had to read the whole body anyway and the tail contains a keyword) is the warning (or, where appropriate, fatal error) issued anyway? [I assume yes] 3. When the e flag is set (and where it is supported), SCCS (at least the versions I have tested) scans the uuencoded version of the file body (!) in order to decide whether to issue the "no id keywords" warning. Is the line count specified by the s flag lines in the uuencoded version of the body or the gotten version of the body? 4. How do other (i.e. non-Sun-originated) implementations of SCCS handle this flag? Is it affected by the SCO OpenServer x flag? [I assume no on the second question since Sun didn't implement that flag] 5. When running "admin -fsNNN -i" on a binary file without specifying admin's -b flag, is the warning still issued? Does it depend on whether or not the fact that the file is binary is detected within the first NNN "lines"? Thanks, James.
