Perhaps I was not explicit enough. I already make the very first line of all my programs a DATA statement which writes the program name and version off to EEROM. Later in my program, I always have a read block that shows the version details as a serial data stream.

What I am searching for is something that automatically increments the file name EVERY time a compile is done. Occasionally I find I make a 'minor' change, forget to update the file name or version, then find unexpected things got clobbered.

Personal discipline should mean I never make that mistake but it still happens.

I guess this is really a plea to David Barker for an enhancement to MCSP.
