I'd like to see it compatible with DOS BACKUP!  It's been my experience
that DOS BACKUP isn't even compatible within itself!  Try doing backups
on one version of DOS and then switching to another.  The other
version will insist that you don't have a backup disk in the drive,
even though you do.  (note - my experiences have been between DOS 2.11
and DOS 3.10.  possibly others don't have this problem).
