Correct. I had used both at work up until around 2005. The idiot large companies I worked at did not believe in Source Code Control. That is the one thing I liked about RCS/SCCS, once I checked out an item, no one could check in their changes unless they contacted me. Forcing a coordinated manual merge between us.
I tried to get our org on to something for a while, but got massive push back until 5 or 6 years ago when they setup corporate wide paid githup repo.
Before that, I found a small group of developers around 2005 that used CVS and they allowed me to leverage that for my group. But of course I was the only one who used it.
Back then I guess people loved loosing source code, which happened a lot until git.
I convinced a software company to use a version control system (RCS on shared disk) back in 1993. To make it work we had to setup a network — Ethernet over (thin) coaxial cable at the time. This was so new to us that we didn't know we needed to use terminators on the two cable ends.
