If so, I'll glady buy one. I'm looking for a HD backup package that can handle the following test: echo >A.File "First version" protect A.File -wd (backup A.File (BACKUP 1)) protect A.File +wd echo >>A.File "Additional version" protect A.File -wd (backup A.File (BACKUP 2)) protect A.File +wd delete A.File (Restore BACKUP 1) (Restore BACKUP 2) (should not complain!) type A.File (Should have both lines) list A.File (should be protected -WD) Thanks, -- Walt Sullivan walt@orbit.Amiga.OCUnix.On.Ca Fido 1:163/109.4 None of what I say is what my employer says, ever! Am I still confused if I'm not, but only THINK I'm confused?
