   No and no.   
      
   VCS is only of use if more than one is working on a project and that was not   
   the case.   
      
   You can find FileMgr on sourceforge and for both of them go to :   
      
   applewood.linkpc.net then files, Development Allfix and masterfiles (for the   
   sources).   
      
   .. and yes anyone with a Pascal background is welcome to do the same.   
      
   If you do start working on them please advise so can pass one all interested   
   party details between you if needed.   
      
   Vincent
