If you are not going to start with a fresh image, I highly recommend
using the package browser. Deletions and additions are color coded
(same is black).
The exercise of going through all the code (class side as well) is a
quick review and does not take that long. This give me a chance to
_think_ about what it is that I am doing.
One can then file in individual methods, a new Class, or the entire
package.
