Interestingly enough, I tried this about an hour, shortly before reading
your kind suggestion (now). I decided that there ought to be something
among the widgets. When I found it, I set it to the maximal value which
was 100. I was ecstatic, but I then realised that all it does is indeed
_backup_, just as it says on the tin.
It retains a stack of files that vary (see below), but not only the dif-
ferences. What I was hoping to have is something that is equivalent to
Palm Desktop's archives where you can search for past (deleted) items. In
Linux I could easily achieve that with fgrep, but with so many merely
identical files it seems impractical.
