Nice program! However I've had a problem with >trying to backup my "fonts" directory for TeX.

I also tried >to zoo the whole directory and it had problems too! Yep! Me too...but with Turtle. Turtle can't handle my d:\tex\fonts directory. There is some bug in Turtle that I could never convince George Woodside of its existence, also. Lately I've been gambling because Turtle will not backup *either* of my two 10meg hd partitions without bombing. I'm running TOS 1.0 or whatever (circa 1985) on a 1040ST. If BackupST can overcome the TeX font directory thing, I'll start using it since Turtle won't work for me anymore. cheers, -chip * Work: 2912 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609 (919) 850-5011 * (...!mcnc!aurgate!roberson) || (roberson%aurgate@mcnc.org) || * (71500.2056@CompuServe.com) || (Chip.Roberson@f112.n151.z1.fidonet.org) #include
