Get RCS (Revision Control System) from prep.ai.mit.edu.  RCS is (IMHO)
much better, and it will convert SCCS-maintained files into
RCS-maintained files.

The files you'll need are in /pub/gnu.  For the NeXT, you'll need to get:
(RCS *really* wants a fairly new version of diff.)

-rw-r--r--  1 14910      134910 Jan  6  1991 diff-1.15.tar.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 14910      349203 Dec  6  1991 rcs-5.6.tar.Z

I have not seen what versions of software are shipped with NS 3.0. 
Hopefully, NeXT has included more recent versions of the various UNIX
utilities.

Examples of older software shipped include emacs (now at 18.58 vs
18.55), cc [gcc] (now at 2.2 vs 1.36), diff (old BSD), the nroff macros
(old BSD), and others.

Sometime soon I'll post a set of diffs (and some needed header-type
files) that'll allow people to recompile the newer version of emacs. 
The other things seem to compile without any great problems, except gcc
2.2.2.  I've got a working version of gcc 2.2.2 up, but I'd be
interested in talking to anyone else out there who's built the sucker on
the NeXT, and compare notes.
