Since  SCCS isn't distributed these days, I made up my own what script
using  grep.  It works under linux and djgpp using bash.  But it does not
work unless the program files contain strings of this sort::

char  *whatid_string="\n@(#)  What is this messy id stuff   (c) dummy AT domain DOT com \n";


#!/bin/bash
# This may not work with csh

# Don't even THINK about running this from DOS

#@(#) What 18 OCT 2000
if test $# -eq 0
  then echo "Need file name."
  echo "Usage:  $0 <filename>"
  exit 1
fi

grep -a "@(#)" $1|while read a b
do
# echo $a
  echo $b
done
