As I said *IF* you were using it "properly" and *IF* you were making any
significant use of its full feature set, then you would have lost (or at
least obfuscated) some of your revision history (and indeed some of your
release information too). Full use of SCCS implies that you made full
use of the Release.Level.Branch.Sequence SID scheme and since SCCS
doesn't have any concept of using symbolic names to map to SIDs, you
wouldn't be able to access any historical branches or releases.
