*********

I am looking for a solution to a rather challenging problem. I am hoping to
use SCCS for version control of documents I am typesetting in TeX. The problem
is, how to use SCCS version control sequences to create change bars (similar
to those used in IBM documentation). This could be done in many ways and I
was just wondering if anyone had any ideas (or even, hope of hopes, has 
experience doing this). Does this need to know the internal format of SCCS
files, or could SCCS just tell where the changes are? Any help will be 
gladly appreciated.
