Also, its file size limit - somewhat below 64K - encouraged       me to keep the quotes file fresh, as I'd reached the limit, so had to       delete something to add anything.       >       > BUT, version control websites like GitHub might help. ;)       >       I've always found GitHub rather hard to understand, but I'm not sure how       it would in this case anyway - Xtree (and I presumw 1word) were       commercial products, not private/group projects.              --       J.
