My adaptation will report what it's doing (or whether there's nothing to
be done). Other than that, it probably does about the same as Chris's
version, with the exception of deleting older versions (which I prefer
to do manually).

If anyone is interested, it can be found here:

Please do not use this list to report any problems with it or ask any
questions about. Use one of the comp.sys.acorn newsgroups or Archive
OnLine instead.
