What is the recommended procedure for installing Kermit95 after
some sort of disaster (eg, hard disk crash)? What steps can be
taken ahead of time to minimize the hurt?
Couple of ideas I had are:
1. Re-install K95 from the original floppys and then apply the
necessary patches to get to the current version. Seems slow and
painful.
2. Use some backup program (MS Backup, winzip, whatever) to backup
the \k95 directory tree to floppy disk(s). After a disaster,
restore from the backup floppys. What about the registry???
Is there a better way. Prevention and planning is key...
TIA
