-Sccs2rcs is a script to convert an existing SCCS
+sccs2rcs is a script to convert an existing SCCS
 history into an RCS history without losing any of
 the information contained therein.
-It has been tested under the following OS's:
-    Dell UNIX 2.2 (System V Release 4)
-    SunOS 3.5, 4.0.3, 4.1
-    Ultrix-32 2.0, 3.1
 
 Things to note:
-  + The -b (batch) option can be used to tell this script to run
-    non-interactively.  In this mode, it assumes that you do not
-    want to enter descriptions on initial checkins, nor change
-    the default keyword substitution
-
-  + The -u option will cause a copy of the file to be checked out
-    after the conversion, so if you started with a workfile in place,
-    you'll end up with one there.
-
   + It will NOT delete or alter your ./SCCS history under any circumstances.
 
   + Run in a directory where ./SCCS exists and where you can
       create ./RCS
 
-  + /usr/local/bin is put in front of the default path.
-    (SCCS under Ultrix is set-uid sccs, bad bad bad, so
-    /usr/local/bin/sccs here fixes that)
-
   + Date, time, author, comments, branches, are all preserved.
 
-  + If a command fails somewhere in the middle, it bombs with
-    a message -- remove what it's done so far and try again.
-        "rm -rf RCS; sccs unedit `sccs tell`; sccs clean"
-    There is no recovery and exit is far from graceful.
-    If a particular module is hanging you up, consider
-    doing it separately; move it from the current area so that
-    the next run will have a better chance or working.
-    Also (for the brave only) you might consider hacking
-    the s-file for simpler problems:  I've successfully changed
-    the date of a delta to be in sync, then run "sccs admin -z"
-    on the thing.
-
-  + After everything finishes, ./SCCS will be moved to ./old-SCCS.
-
-This file may be copied, processed, hacked, mutilated, and
-even destroyed as long as you don't tell anyone you wrote it.

-I added some portability fixes and the -u option.
+This is a port to Python of a tool originally written in csh by Ken Cox
+and later hacked by Brian Berliner and myself.  See the header comment
+for detailed history.
