BUT
This is a magnificent opportunity to make use of the right tool for the
right job, namely the Revision Control System (RCS).  This allows
graceful backouts in case something goes wrong.  It also makes the
history of changes available, so patterns of growth or changes can
be observed.  It also is useful where 2 or more people make changes
to the same file, as it forces coordination of effort.

IP's and Web-page maintainers would find this useful (not just the
hsw geeks).  It's too bad they are generally so technophobic, and have
to be protected from themselves, and seem unwilling to learn anything
about what's under the hood of their livelihood.  At least that's
the impression I get...sigh...

  If you can't do it right because you don't have the time,
  where are you ever going to find the time to fix it later?
