NAME
     sc2sbcs - convert an SCCS file to a new SBCS file.

SYNOPSIS
     sc2sbcs [-nsv] [-f flag[val]]  [-g  sccs-get-cmd]  sccs-file
     sbcs-file

DESCRIPTION
     sc2sbcs converts an existing SCCS s-file to a  new  SBCS  s-
     file.

     Version and history information is extracted from  the  SCCS
     s-file  and  used to create a new SBCS s-file.  The informa-
     tion that is preserved  includes  the  original  SID,  delta
     sequence number, date and time, author, list of MRs and com-
     ments for all deltas, actual and removed.  The file descrip-
     tive text, user list and flags are also preserved.

     Predecessor sequence numbers  reflect  the  underlying  dif-
     ferencing  implementation  and are in general not preserved.
     An application  should  not  rely  on  predecessor  sequence
     numbers.

     The information  on  included  or  excluded  deltas  is  not
     preserved,  because  SBCS  has  no use for it. This does not
     affect the integrity of any of the versions transformed.  If
     the  new  file  were reconverted to SCCS, using sb2sccs, the
     new SCCS file may be larger than the  original  one  because
     storage  efficiences  realized  with  -i  and  -x  cannot be
     recreated. Again, this does not affect the integrity of  any
     version.

     The SCCS character-count statistics  for  deltas  is  regen-
     erated, except for removed deltas.

     sc2sbcs generates an sh(1) and awk(1) script and  then  runs
     it.   It  is  possible to run the command to simply generate
     the intermediate script.

OPTIONS
     -n   Don't run the script. The  intermediate  sh  executable
          script  is  preserved  as  sc2sb.sh  and it is not run.
          sc2sbcs will not overwrite an existing sc2sb.sh file.

     -s   Silent mode. Suppress all non-error information.   Nor-
          mally  some  status  information is printed to standard
          output.

     -v   Verbose mode. Allow all SBCS and SCCS commands used  by
          the  script  to  print their usual messages to standard
          out.

     -fw comp
          Set compression scheme to comp in the new sbcsfile.  If
          comp  is  null, do not use compression in the resulting
          SBCS file.  See nadmin(1) for a review of possible comp
          values.

     -fy diff
          Set differencing scheme to diff in the new sbcsfile. If
          diff  is null, do not use differencing in the resulting
          SBCS file.  See nadmin(1) for a review of possible diff
          values.   Only in exceptional circumstances should dif-
          ferencing be turned off.

     -g sccs-get-cmd
          Full path of the SCCS get command to  use  to  retrieve
          versions  from  the  SCCS file.  That path is then also
          used for the SCCS admin, delta and prs commands.

FILES
     All temporary files are created in the  directory  specified
     by  TMPDIR,  TEMP, TMP or the sbcsenv variable tmpdir.  They
     are removed before completion of sc2sbcs.

     The SCCS g-file is also created and cannot  pre-exist.   The
     SBCS  g-file, p-file, z-file and Z-file are all created dur-
     ing the conversion. They are  removed  at  the  end  of  the
     conversion.
