Subject: PCPine addressbook housekeeping

Has anyone else noticed the following:

When using PCPine, if you modify your local addressbook, copies of the
addressbook and lookup file are left behind, presumably the earlier
versions of the files;  they are named a3a##### and a4a#####,
respectively.

Why aren't these being removed, and is it something we have or haven't
done?  Hasn't anyone else ever seen this and asked (I didn't see anything
in the archives)?

Only one set seem to be left behind, so far as I can tell. For remote
addressbooks these are used if there is no connection to the server.
