I wouldn't think it would be impossible to build the 'perfect tool' though. The thing that blew that (crud! cannot remember the name of the caldera all-in-one application they had back when) whateverits name out of the water was that it wouldn't check for hand-edits... it would blow them off reading from it's own history file.
