"New From Template"

[Michael Hart]

I just noticed something
the folder PaxHeaders.<some number> and in that folder is exactly the same
files and the project files. But those files have garbage in them
I have been doing some research about PaxHeaders.# so far I have not come
up with anything conclusive. Is PaxHeaders.# suppose to be generated
