Well - I could use rsync or svk I suppose, I just know SVN well
enough and then I get version history for free.  Plus I could on
different networks where copying the datafile would amount to sftp or
something.

So far it seems to be working ok - I use TortoiseSVN on windows to
pull in the latest data file copy and check it in when done.  90% of
the edits will be done on Linux though - I mainly wanted to make sure
I wasn't going to eventually corrupt the data file doing this.  :)

Thanks,
