I've used od, though not in some time.

And Gnu has CSSC (Compatibly Stupid Source Control) a GPL sccs
implementation whose intended use case is to let you move stuff *out*
of sccs and into something more modern.

Eric S. Raymond has a tool called reposurgeon intended to automate
most of the conversion when migrating to a new DVCS.  He wants to make
CVS go away.  I should point him at POSIX as someone in need of his
services.

(He also wrote a tool called SRC that is a Python wrapper around RCS
to provide a more modern UI.  He even figured out a way to get it to
support sccs for fun, but can't imagine anyone is still *using*
sccs...)
