Sounds like you need some sort of version control system like Subversion or CVS (and there
are others). That will enable you to keep completely separate versions of the same code
lying around.

What you describe is a typical sort of pattern for a release branch (just maintenace of
Tool_ver4 code) and a development trunk (active development leading to an eventual
Tool_ver5) and I doubt that whatever tool you are using now (the IDL IDE?) is up to the task.

I use subversion. Check out http://svnbook.red-bean.com Chap4 deals with branching and
merging.
