I haven't written one.  Ask the people who have written backup utilities
whether they are updating their products to work with extended files.
(Have you investigated the ProSel 16 utilities?  I think there's supposed
to be an incremental backup utility on there--I've never tried to use it.)

Okay, it's my opinion.  Shall I stick "In my opinion," onto the beginnings
of all my sentences?  (Or maybe I should sign all my messages with something
like "My opinions are my own...." :-)
