Re: binder language, binding directories, bind bycopy/reference

Hi Barbara,

Excellent example of the uses of binder labguage.

And you have hit the nail on the head with why you may want different 
signatures. It is a mechanism for tracking which programs were created 
with which version of the service program. As to whether or not it is 
important - it depends :-).

It can be handy when you have a few people adding to the service program.

It can be handy if you need to back-out or re-do a set of changes.

I am inclined to use multiple signatures during the development stage 
then, when the service program is "stable", re-do the binder source with 
one signature, re-create the programs and stick with the single 
signature there after.
