All I know is that I am very very happy with the way Metacard does 
it, and hope that doesn't go away.  There's nothing more frustrating 
that routing around looking for which was the most current copy.  My 
current copy is always named someProgramName.mc, while the copies are 
someProgramName-2.mc, someProgramName-3.mc etc.  Those number don't 
mean anything at all, except to show that they are copies of the 
original, in case I ball up the original.  But the original, I want 
to keep working in, and just save copies as I go, for safekeeping.
