	I use QUARTERBACK and it works just fine.  I have only one complaint
about the program.  Suppose you do an incremental backup of your hard disk,
and only one or two files get be backed up.  Later, you decide to look at
your backup floppy to see what files are on it.  QUARTERBACK saves a copy
of your hard disk's directory structure on the backup floppy, which means
that ALL directory and subdirectory names appear.  So, it becomes a chore to
look through all those directories for the one or two files that are actually
on the backup disk.

	Other than this gripe, I think the program is fast, the user-interface
is reasonably good, and it has never crashed on me.
