Does anyone have a patch that will allow me to use version numbers on files residing on a UNIX file server (using an Explorer as the FTP/NFS client). It shouldn't be to hard to do this the way GNU Emacs handles version numbers, but I'd rather not reinvent any wheels. [GNU writes foo.lisp.newest as "foo.lisp" and foo.lisp.3 as "foo.lisp.~3~"] Dan

Symbolics/ILA's NFS system does give you this capability. It comes in very handy when developing a single-source system that is to be run on Lisp Machines and UNIX boxes.
