I just found that you seem to assume that 

        admin -b -n s.foo

will create an amty history file suitable for encoded files.

It seems that the binary encoding flag has been introduced by Sun somewhere in 
the 1980s (it is supported on SunOS-4.1). On SunOS-4.1, you however will get an
error message:

/usr/sccs/admin -n -b s.foo
ERROR: 'b' keyletter can only be used with 'i' keyletter (ad33)

sccs help ad33

ad33:
"'b' keyletter can only be used with 'i' keyletter"
The -b option, which indicates that a
file should be treated as binary and
checked in in an encoded form, may only
be specified if an SCCS file is being
initialized.


SCCS on Solaris automatically assumes -n if you specify -i and it seems that 
the warning above has been removed for unknown reason, but the encoding flag 
is only added in case that you use -i.

We should discuss which behavior should be expected here......
