If the latter, there would need to be a "synchronize" option to bring the history up to date when the user no longer needs the older version. Having two or more potential sources of modification for a single file poses all kinds of issues about consistency, unless they are intrinsically synchronized internally. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ======================================================================= [email protected] (David W Noon) ======================================================================= -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
