Just wondering if anyone had any opinions about the cpout program from
uPort.  Would this be any more reliable than cpio?  I have been backing
up our 85 meg drive to floppies with cpio and now with cpout.  Fortunately,
I have never had to try to restore the drive, but one of these days I will,
and if my floppies are no good I'm gonna be *real* mad.........
