I remember that. OOo also has this feature. What I talk about is different: it uses one file for each version, with a version field in the file name managed directly by the operating system, not the application program. It is also different from external backup, as it is automatic and continuous, and can be affected by disk failure, of course.
Novell NetWare did exactly that. Every time you saved a file it wrote a new copy and left the old one hidden in 'free' space on the hard drive. These old copies only got overwritten when the space was needed, in an oversized drive that seemed to be forever. A little utility allowed the administrator to retrieve old versions. Saved our bacon quite a number of times and I miss it badly.
Cute :-) Yes, that's the thing I'm talking about.
The nearest I've seen on Linux is subversion but that's a repository not a filesystem. I seem to remember coming across a subversion filesystem but it wasn't finished.
Pity. - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGXIfftTMYHG2NR9URAmnbAKCOfDbGeo3WPxK3wmC29orqm70D2QCfSAPx aByxq6wPMgL3FuZi/PcD2wU= =2LyU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
