* Added backup to a date-stamped zip file if a backup zip directory is specified. There's a new INI setting that allows this. * Found remaining ninelives variable and switched it to new version variable The zip occurs *before* a file is *retored* from the download directory, on the theory that that way the version being saved will always be something that was in the restore directory, and never something accidentally co-named in the download directory. Note also that there is a message flashed on screen when the compression occurs. This comes from the PS utility itself. It might be possible to suppress that if desired. Thanks!
