I downloaded the source code of a simple program and noticed that there was a file named MSSCCPRJ.SCC. What exactly is a *.scc file? What does it do?
It's a SOURCE SAFE CONTROL file for a MS PROJECT. MS VISUAL SOURCESAFE uses that file to store information.
You can pretty much ignore it.
If MS Visual Source Safe is installed then every time you create new project and/or add new files to your existing project you will be asked if you want to add those files to Source Safe. In either case MSSCCPRJ.SCC will be created so next time when you launch your project and if it is part of source safe then you will have to login ...
Also, Visual Source Safe could be used not only for VS projects but to save a copy of any file at all - very usefull utility and many developers all arround the world know it as a "life saver".
