No and no.

VCS is only of use if more than one is working on a project and that was not
the case.

You can find FileMgr on sourceforge and for both of them go to :

applewood.linkpc.net then files, Development Allfix and masterfiles (for the
sources).

.. and yes anyone with a Pascal background is welcome to do the same.

If you do start working on them please advise so can pass one all interested
party details between you if needed.

Vincent
