Ok, now I understand what you're saying. Actually, you really *should*
keep those changes in a version control system (not that we do that here
<g>). However, what might work better for you is a trouble ticket
system. We've put one into place here, after trying several. The one
that was, um, "easiest" (for small values of easy), and that we finally
went with, was Mantis.

Note: if you do, and use MySQL with it, and PHP, if you're not on PHP5,
or maybe even if you are, you need to make the password for the Mantis
account "PASSWD=OLDPASSWD" - MySQL uses a newer, longer encrypted
password, and Mantis/PHP only does the shorter, older version....

      mark "gotcha!"
