Is there a possibility to check out only a subset of files managed by
RCS or SCCS by assigning a symbolic names to different subsets? 

Let me explain the problem a little bit more: 

1) Assume there are 3 groups of files in a project: f*.a, f*.b and f*.ab.
   (f*.a and f*.ab) are used for porting into a system A and (f*.b and f*.ab)
   are used for a system B. Does RCS or SCCS offer a mechanism to `put'
   (f*.a and f*.ab) into a group named eg. SYSTEM_A and subsequently
   check out all files belonging to this group just by referencing its
   symbolic name? Please note, that in real projects you don't have such
   straightforward namings, so a simple 'co RCS/*.a,v' normally does not work.

2) The same problem arises also, if you don't need a specific file for the
   future revisions of the project. It's obvious that you can't delete the
   file (because of old revisions). It would be nice to put the really
   needed files into a group and fetch the group excluding the obsolete
   files.

This functionality is available in VMS Code Management System (CMS) and I
really miss it in RCS/SCCS. Can somebody give me a hint?

Thanks in advance!
