If only there were some tool that would keep collections of files as a snapshotted whole and allow us to browse the history of those snapshots in some sort of connected graph, with each snapshot being given some sort of unique ID. Then we could simply refer to that unique ID when we wanted to tell someone about a particular historical instance. :-) Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET andyparkins@gmail.com
