tool time

My current project @ work needed another update that was not in the specs. To do the update I had to get the element from another person. I noticed she had two kinds of changes - adds and deletes. When I talked to her she stated that the element had "run out of space." The deletes were of obsolete code. It was then I realized we as a company had no strategy for this situation. I had a personal one. I had written tools to aid in this kind of work. The company had no tools, no policy.
