I wrote a short macro file (not Macro) in 1972. I found I needed it 
again last year.

It was a really tricky file to write....I kept five separate copies, 
supposedly in 'safe' places, and lost four of them within a year due to 
failings of others. The fifth copy was on a roll of paper tape in a box 
under my bed! It spent years on one of our RA81s as well as several 
other disks....

There are many other files I bitterly regret not keeping.
