The versioning info in the file should be updated according to the last modified timestamp (if ther are any changes within the macros or the doc only, of course). Then it would be nice to have a web page with all the file listed in base together with their timestap. it can be a simple 'grep': something like this: xtag-exp.tex:%D version=2001.08.20, xtag-ext.tex:%D version=2001.03.21, xtag-ini.tex:%D version=2000.12.20, xtag-map.tex:%D version=2000.12.20, xtag-mmc.tex:%D version=2000.12.20, xtag-mml.tex:%D version=2000.12.20, xtag-mmp.tex:%D version=2000.12.20, this would help to see if I need the newest beta, if i find a bug in context in a certain file. For example, I am just checking the core-itm for Idris, but I am note sure if the bug (if it is a bug) i have found is still in the newest beta. Before downloading the whole new cont-tmf.zip it would be nice if I could check a page on the web and see if there are any changes. Or put all your file into cvs and give us read-access :) Patrick -- I'll fade into the darkness
