Stack version?

[Andre Garzia]

Bill,

I use Magic Carpet by Altuit <http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/ 
MagicCarpetCover/default.htm>, this allows me to work in groups and  
maintain previous versions in sane places. Also I usually have a  
hidden field called "vers" in the stack that shows the version info  
if opened in the IDE.

most of my work is CGI and network related so having a field in a  
stack is no issue since the user will never see it.
