Don't start that again! It isn't every shop that has the luxury of no

We're moving towards a Java environment for much of our code. I went
to modify a method and first did a search to determine where the code
was copied - and found 161 copies of a file which I had created, which
was copied by the trunk and branches and a bunch of places that I
don't get. I'm told not to worry about it, but that's hard from my
background.

I agree, and like you, I'd be worryig about it too. It would appaear some
severe source control is required.

The code in these are not all the same.

Vernor Vinge has a SF novel which includes people working as software
archeologists, digging down through systems trying to clean up
thousands of years of interactions.

I'd like to read that! :-)
