Since I've been bitten by this, how can I know if the file I modified is 
goint to be overwritten or not, *before* it actually happens? And even if 
it is, a .pacsave wouldn't hurt anyone, if I remember correctly (it's been 
some time) I had completely lost my changes, and I had to rewrite them.


Thanks,
