Try using Subversion. You can work and make diffs disconnected from the network. You can't, of course, commit / update but you can work with it and have what you need to compare original code (i.e. the one from the last commit) to new code and go back to original code if needed. > I'm not saying nested comments solve every problem, just that > there exists a certain (perhaps small) class of problems they solve > particularly well.

Well, I believe they are since it looks like a habit of yours to use multiline comments. It is common for people coming from other programming languages that support them. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur." - Qualquer coisa dita em latim soa profundo. - Anything said in Latin sounds smart. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
