I know... I know... but it's such a small thing and you probably already
have an object that will do it...

    Incremental save.

    Three things are certain:
    Death, taxes, and lost data.
    Guess which has occurred.

It's basically save as.
You do an incremental save on a file test.pov and the prog
saves the file as test1.pov (or test_1.pov ...) Incremental
save on that gives you test2.pov.

It's an easy way of keeping a history of files.

It's for the editor.  Source sharing systems do something similar (IIRC, CVS
is a popular one).  Saves the file in steps, ie, when it saves "test.pov",
the old "test.pov" would be named "test1.pov" or "test2.pov", etc.  Or
possible, "test2_24_02a.pov".  The point is, that all versions of the file
are saved and available.

I've done that for years using the Post_Scene_Command and
User_Abort_Command ini settings. Just call a program that does
incremental saves for you (UltraCompressor comes to mind, but it's 8.3
limited).
