Preserving execute permissions is a feature that was added by Sun in 1986.

CSSC is not a complete SCCS reimplementation and CSSC in special does not 
implement all useful Sun extension even though it implements at least one bug 
from Sun SCCS (a missing newline while printing flags).

If you like to get all know useful extensions, I recommend to use standard 
SCCS from: 

        http://sccs.berlios.de/

        ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/sccs/

It is true OpenSource Since December 2006 and has been ported to all major 
platforms in early 2007.
