Suggestions for maintaining source code

["Shrader, Patrick" <pshrader@xxxxxxxx>]

Like many of you, over the years we have had to modify some MAPICS source
code. I consider myself extremely lucky in that the modifications have been
whittled down to a half dozen programs, but I still have to manage these
changes as if they were a hundred changes.

Because of these few changes I don't stay current on my PTFs. Now I am
embarking on the process of upgrading several PTF levels over the next
couple weeks. However, I need to verify that the programs that I have
modified are not changed in the PTF. What are some ways that you insure that
your modified source code is at the correct version -- especially when you
install multiple PTFs?

I have thought to save the original MAPICS objects to another library and
compare the versions after the ACSAPPLY. If they don't match then I will
download the latest source and make the modifications. 

What are your suggestions?

Patrick
