The O'Reily book _Applying_RCS_and_SCCS_ is a good source of information. I learned SCCS rather quickly with this book, and it seems to have quite a lot of information on RCS too. The book seperates the information presented into 3 categories: 1) Stuff that is general to all source control systems or stuff that is common to both RCS and SCCS. Also compares pros and cons of both systems in this category. 2) Stuff specific to RCS. 3) Stuff specific to SCCS. Great book IMHO.
