Thank you for the opened door, Jeff :-) I've been mulling revision control (actually, strictly source control, I have little interest in patching binaries, no matter what old tin can they are fitted with[1]) and one novel idea that keeps nagging me without quite settling in my head is the use of Plan 9's "proto" to record at least part of the history. Is this entirely original of me? Is it totally insane, or is there perceived merit in what my subconscious keeps shouting at me? ++L [1] See the original cover of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells"
