I've tried PC Tools 5.5, but it doesn't I bought the Norton backup program a few months ago; talk about expensive - costs about as much as PCTools... and is a single purpose program. But it wouldn't run. I called Norton, spent good $$ on about 45 minutes long distance (they don't have an 800 number of course..). They couldn't help me. Told me to send them a printout that the program produces when you do Cntrl-I. Did this. Still no reply after 4 or 5 months. I've lost track, and also evidently my money. By the way I have a true blue system - IBM Model 70. Am I mad?? You bet I am!
