AJC Active Backup can
be linked into the Delphi IDE so you can easily recover
old versions of source files. This protects you from
mistakes, file corruption and can show you what you
have changed.
To open the automatic revision archive for the current

IDE is simple. First you need to add a new tool menu
option in Delphi. The instructions here are for Delphi

You can place the AJCArchive.bat file
in any location you like. This .bat file must contain
the following which must be all on one line:
start
"" "C:\Program Files\AJC Software\AJC
Revision Archive\AJCRvArc.exe" -OpenArchiveForFile=%1
The start
command is used so that no DOS window will remain on
screen. Note the empty double quotes for an empty title,
needed because without a title it will not work with
a long filename containing spaces.
