Great. Although others suggested the same, I think you're the first person who's actually done it. So, I assume everythign went pretty well? No gotchas lurking to get me?

The conversion batch from SCCS to RCS took several hours. RCS to Perforce runs very quickly.

The only special thing you have to look after, are the keywords. You only have "$Id$" in Perforce, so you have to decide, where to use it, and which keywords to drop. I put the SCCS Magic "@(#)" (expansion of %Z%) in front of "$Id$", so UNIX "what" still works. I wrote a small script that does the substitution for our file header and keyword convention. I don't remember, if I used keyword conversion from the sccs2rcs script, or suppressed it.
