If you are able to copy the FMB-File to VMS, you could use DEC's CMS
(Code Management Service)-Utility. With CMS you can reserve a file, so
that nobody else may change it while your are working on that file.
After you have done your changes, the file is replaced creating a new
'generation' of the file in CMS-Library. CMS allows you to retrieve
previous generations (=versions) of your file, so that you may correct
a bug in an older version of your file, even if the file has been
extended in the meantime.
To keep track of the various versions of your application containing
>1 form, you may group generations to 'classes' representing a version
(for instance beta/production) of your application.
CMS is also available on PCs (where it is called WinCMS), but I don't
know, whether Macintosh-Versions exist.
