Have you thought about source control? I know it's not really "source" per say but a CVS repo and a good CVS client could go a long way here. Might be more work than it's worth, given it's just one file, but I find subversion to be quite handy for this kind of stuff. Sharepoint uses decent source control, if you're a Microsoft shop, but since you're using linux in all of this that may not be your best answer. Brian
