RCS is from the UNIX world and is easier to deal with that SCCS. It is also free and ports are available to DOS, WIN32, VMS, ....

MKS Source Integrity is a Windowsified RCS and can integrate with File Mangler et al quite well - and does a better job than source safe although the files are no longer compatible with RCS.

Oracle seem to be pushing PVCS (which is like the bastard child of RCS and SCCS). If you get the SOURCE to the DLLs, it is easy, otherwise you'll have to od -x the binary and diff the output. At least RCS has a decent window for comparison, but it would still be a bitch.
