Tim:

Yes, all of InterMapper's files are safe to copy with "cp". We do not store anything in resource forks anymore (starting with InterMapper 4.0 and later).

For IM Traditional, the screen rectangles for each map and chart window are stored in the 'automatic' portion of the map file. These saved window positions are updated when you close the map, regardless of whether you elect to save changes or not.

For IM Console/Remote, the screen rectangles for each map and chart window are stored locally in a preference file.

It may make sense to support a 'Save Window Positions' command in IM Traditional that saves the current window positions for all open maps and charts in a central preference file, only at your command. Once saved, these settings would override the window positions stored in the map file.

Bill,

Can I use unix cp in a cron job to make backups of these on a regular basis?
