There are many preservations of http://www.bitmover.com/bitsccs/, but since
the BitSCCS sources were distributed via FTP the wayback machine doesn't
have the actual sources.

I did a bit of searching and found
ftp://linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/distributions/historic/jurix/source/compile/BitSCCS-0.5.2.tar.gz
; I don't know where that falls in the product's lifetime.
