I'd like to automate Managing Your Money backups for my wife in the
following way.  After exiting, she starts a program that would do

	pkzip %1 *.db *.ark
	while <there is NOT enough room on the floppy in A:>
		echo "Put a new floppy disk in A:"

	copy %1 A:
	
%1 is the name of the archive file and should be automatically created
from today's date.

I'm not an MSDOS programmer but I could probably hack something in Turbo
C is someone would point out:
	a) how to create a file whose name is based on the date
	b) check file size
	c) check room remaining on a floppy disk.

Thanks,
Pete
