I must confess I have hardly heard of SCCS (so a presentation may be
nice :)), but chapter 7 of the Unix FAQ at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part7/ contains a comparision of
RCS and SCCS, and it should be faily easy to find a comparision (which
will IMHO be a like comparing apples and oranges..) of CVS and RCS.

SCCS..." :)

(There are also reimplementations of CVS that have learnt from CVS. 
Have a look at freshmeat.)
