I think the old one was build on 9 May 2004.  It didn't always clear out
the pickup count, but it worked pretty well.  With the current CVS
version, when the pickup count is zero, and you start to enter
something, instead of starting with what you enter, it suddenly reverts
back to the old number and what you add is appended on to that.
