MPW includes a SCCS-like facility called Projector.  It's got a very nice
dialog interface (via Commmando) or can be used from the MPW command line
directly.  It DOES require that you are in MPW to access it.

One constraint it has that might be important it you is that although it
handles all file types (Text, MacDraw, Word, etc), it handles Text files
better.  With Text files, only the changes since the last version are stored.
With non-Text files each new generation stores a complete new copy of the
file.

What this means is that Text file Projector databases can be stored more
efficiently.  Non-text files aren't stored as efficiently, but otherwise
everything works the same.

We've been using Projector to manage source code AND documentation files
stored in MacWrite II format.
