This sounds good. I already append the current date to the filename every time I save a document I'm editing, so I can always go back to an old version. If the FS did this automagically one could have every draught/version of every letter, email or article ever written. You can never have enough RAM or longterm storage (I was going to say "disk space" but in future longterm storage might not be on "disks" as we know them). You give me the TBs, and I'll find a use for them. Guaranteed. Yuri -- ** WARNING to mailing list repliers ** Gmail over-rides "Reply-To:" field.
