And those of us who go back the 1.0 days remember when there
was no fpCopy and we did the same thing you did, with some variants
editing the map file.  

Copy and paste wasn't as easy then. Even though you can do it in
vi it was far easer [at least for me] to save the one line to a
file, and then suck it back in editing the other.

ISTR there were some tutorial on this, along with regular bug
notificatons of what was fixed in the day when what is now
fpTech had a dial-in bulletin board system.    I don't even think I
can find my modem anywhere now.
