Re: Windows/Macro Language Info?

, I would periodically winzip my
class/program source code for archiving.

Hi:

This raises the question as to when a file should be backed-up.

A file should be backed-up immediately after it has been
changed in some way.  It should not be backed up further
if is never changed.

Source code should be backed-up immediately after
final compilation. You know, at that time,  that the
program compiled OK.

A Product File should be backed-up immediately after
changes and not thereafter unless multiple copies
were required.

As mentioned earlier, files can be damaged and nobody know.
If people "backup everything every day", then the time
will come when they wind up backing up files which
have been damaged and nobody know.

I have had several occasions where my source code has
been damaged over the years and, had I backed
everything up all at the same time, I would have
been backing up bad stuff and lost the code as of
its final compilation. (Of course, one has multiple
generations of backups, but still.)

Thanks
