Excellent idea, but I've never been very good at version control. I start  
out with good intentions, but when an idea strikes, they go out the window.  
Maybe we need a coordinator, someone with the required attitude who will  
receive all new programs, rename them as needed, and then distribute them.  
Any volunteers?  
This person could also require that programs be resubmitted with an  
assigned correct name (since some compilers require, for example, that  
Pascal Unit names be the same as the file name they're stored under).I will  
defer to anyone who speaks up forcefully enough on this matter.

Best,

Bill P.
