Projects are given a new version number on each save, and you usually
only see the latest in the default etoy tools. Branching a project is
therefor easiest to maintain by being explicit and giving it a new
name

Most software I use has an About button which tells you the version number of the whole package. It can be handy to know which version you are using, especially when discussing compatibility issues. I looked in the etoys folder, it's not there either.

Re: version number

Ah, that is right, Etoys should have a about button.

Bring up the halo for the "world" (by right-clicking/cmd-clicking on
an empty area of your Squeak desktop,) then click on the menu icon to
get the "world" menu. The first item in that menu is "about this
system", which reports the system name and version number.
