RESTORE 5.5 is shareware replacement for the official DOS Restore.
What's wrong with the official DOS Restore versions 2.0 to 4.01?
1. The DOS 3.2 version according to a Microsoft technician has 22
reported bugs. It is "the lemon of MS DOS" to use his phrase.
2. Under DOS 3.2, MS DOS and PC DOS use incompatible formats for
Restore diskettes. You cannot restore files backed up on
IBM PC DOS to an MS DOS system and vice versa.
3. DOS 3.2 and 4.01 disk formats are incompatible. You cannot
restore files backed up on DOS 4.01 to a machine running DOS
3.2. Version 3.2 Restore will not run under DOS 4.01, etc.
Canadian Mind Products Restore works under all versions of PC
and MS DOS from 2.0 to 4.01 and will restore diskettes created
by DOS BACKUP running under any the same or any other version.
Heavily commented MASM/OptAsm source is provided to those who
register. For non-military use only.
What's New?
Recent changes include LAN compatibility, allowing ^ in
filenames, and a special version for registered users with
prompts for distributing and installing commercial software
packages. It now bypasses a bug in some caching utilities.
There is more documentation on troubleshooting that explains
common misconceptions about how RESTORE works.
