Works well enough & I use it in preference to RCS. Why:

*	I've been using SCCS for > 20 years
*	The expansion of keywords is nicer than RCS, so you can set the version/level/...
	number directory into a variable in a program w/out haveing to play games extracting
	it from a string -- but you need to be more careful about checking in/out since you will
	occasionally check something in that has the keys expanded.

If you have lots of files and want to coordinate changes between them to make product
releases you could look at aegis.
