I've worked with a number of folks that do use file versions for 
exactly that; for source control.   It's fairly common usage on smaller 
projects on OpenVMS.   Many of the developers have been very

OP has been a fairly common reason why folks have asked similar 
questions about OpenVMS file version creation and overwrites, too.   
Hence my DVCS-related comments.  Also why I'd commented on different 
potential goals that might be in play here.   Different folks use 
OpenVMS for different reasons, and sometimes in vastly different ways,
