That is why we need this function, The aim is for group developer can 
easier communicate each other, that is why all the change is only 
compared with the backup based on versions. They can track all the 
change they made based on last release version. By sending the 
Changelog+Version.txt to each other, by apply the file to the release 
function(havn't done yet,do it manually for now), developer can merage 
the changes from different develpers.

I thought this backup file is made everytime change was made.(I may 
wrong) and according to my aims, the appending of version number is 
required.

Thanks for let me know that, I need look into how to use the command. 
the wheel I use can be a lot simpler if you can fix the bug in split or 
tell me something I don't know to use it. I try to split the string 
returned from openfile with "\nEND\n" but the array it return is not 
what I expected.

This is not what I want to do. But if you think this is useful too, i 
can make both easily.

How can I open the attachment for maillist? All I got is bas64 encoded 
text files.

Thanks for comments.
