I don't program C(++)...

Everytime I start Compass a batchfile copies all files from the desired
directory to the subdir Backup, and renames all .ASM files in Backup to
.BAK, and deleted every .BAK file.

For the rest, I do not keep up multiple copies, and when I do, I add a
version-number, or I can derive it from the file length.

The clock works correctly while running... Just not when the MSX is turned
off.
