A very curious thing just happened. Got a call from a collegue who was trying to run the Kitchen Scripts 'Manage Links' utility. While trying to reverse links he got a DXL error referencing some LibAll.inc file. He tracked it down and found script ReverseLinks.dxl which had a version of 1.0 dated Mar 2000, with my name on it. I checked my old versions and sure enough that's when I first wrote the script (yes, its now up to version 4.5 but that's another story...). It turns out that the Kitchen Scripts use a DXL named 'ReverseLinks.dxl', coincedentally the same name as one of mine.

More curiously, my old official version doesn't use any "LibAll.inc" file, a concept I didn't implement until about 2002. Also curiously I notice that on the very next day in Mar 2000 I uplgraded the script to v1.1 to fix a pretty serious delete-link bug; and my collegue didn't have that version.

Thus, someone got my initial deployment of the script, distributed it in some way, and has attempted to modify it over the years to keep up with my library.

Anyway, if anyone has found an old copy of any of my scripts I'd sure like to hear about it (mostly for vanity reasons). All my scripts start with a comment line, then a comment block, then some sort of version history, all use numeric versions like "2.2" even if it may have a suffix "2.2a". Most will say "Landale" in the revision history. Most will have defined string constant "gVersion" or "c_Version" near the top. Most will have some sort of #include <xxx> statement. Most end with a // ---- end file xxxx --- statement.
