Shortly after I began Fleabyte, in ~1998, I ran into a problem of having
to version text and referencing it. I fashioned a method "on the run." I
have forgotten the details, but as soon as I have some time, I'll try to
retrieve what I did.     (03)

I have since been told that versioning is a big area of concern. I think
it knits in closely with purple-numbering.    (04)
