It works like a charm and i usually spend less than double of the real files space (RCS keeps the most recent copy and "diff scripts" for older versions). I can even put some "history" strings into the compiled object that tell me what version i compiled with. This is definitely better than keeping multi-versions around. albert cheng {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!acheng acheng%uiuc@csnet-relay {Ask not what Unix can do for you, Ask what you can do for Unix!!}
