 Use XCOPY to Back Up Delegator Data
 If your data files (.DAT,.MEM) are small enough to fit on a floppy disk,
 DOS's COPY or XCOPY will backup your data files faster than most back up
 utilities.  Creating a .BAT file to automate the process will make it
 even faster.  Back up your data files often.  Also, be sure you have a
 copy of Delegator program files stored safely.
