They were basically identical except my original p0q0 was changed to p1q1. The tests and results are as follows: move "X:\Program Files\The Bat!\*" to "X:\Program Files\Test\Test\The Bat!\*" move "X:\AppsBase\MAIL\*" to "X:\AppsBase\Test\MAIL\*" From command window ran TBz2.bat Result of running TBz2.bat was files of same size as original when NOTHING was there. This doesn't follow my INTENT which was to create a backup of what was on disk. The file sizes should be VERY small, since NO directory exists and no files would have been found. Without changing any locations after the moves indicated above I ran TBz.bat Results of running TBz.bat was files which were SMALL. This DOES follow my INTENT which was to create backup of what was on disk. Looking at the contents with 7-Zip there were NO files in the 7z files. So when considering my INTENT I'll leave my states of p & q the way they were with p0q0. I'll switch to using "7zn.exe" because of your statement using it on RAR files. I might as well get use to it because it could become very useful. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 ,----- [ TBz.bat file ] | @Echo off | | Echo ************************************************ | Echo * !!
