I wrote a small batch file for the old PKZIP program that writes the data in the SAVE folder to a floppy. It can easily be modified to save the data wherever you want. It incorporates a "freshen" feature that only writes the changed data during the backup. Let me know if interested and I'll send it along as an attachment.

I have my batch file set up so that it doesn't copy temp files in the SAVE directory (those with a ~). 73, Roger -- Remember the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) http://ussliberty.org/ From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 4 10:33:51 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (George K) Date: Sun Dec 4 10:35:44 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN_TOP_OF_SCREEN Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What does the "MODIFIED" mean at the top left of the screen and what does the numbers counting down mean?

That's a great start, Roger, but you still have to run it by hand. I like the Iomega Automatic Backup program because it runs silently in the background without user intervention. People will generally do the minimum to get by, so relying on them to initiate backups is a bad policy, in my opinion. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us
