In my recent posting of MRBackup, I omitted the file Screen.c. I sincerely
apologize for the omission. I've posted it here to get it out as quickly
as possible. By the way - I also found a bug (a typo) in Backup.c. Look
for a statement beginning with:
if ( ! CheckExclude( FIB->fib_FileName && ...
There should be a right paren after fib_FileName. Natch, you'll have to
balance parens in the rest of the statement.
For those who are interested, MRBackup 2.1 is ready for consumption. I've
added the ability to test/set the file system archive bits (thanks to
Steve Drew for the idea). I've also changed the context saving routine to
use an external file and there's a new command, Resume Backup, which you
may find extremely useful. Essentially, information about the state of the
backup list is saved to a file (S:MRBackup.context) as each new backup
floppy is started. Should some non-recoverable error occur during a backup
(power failure, core meltdown, etc.) you can pick up where you left off
with the Resume Backup command. Clever people will also discover that this
is a nifty way to backup a disjoint set of files (edit s:mrbackup.context,
then use Resume Backup).
I will probably not be posting any more source (since I can't seem to do
it right anyway :-) but it will remain available. For anyone who wants it,
just mail me $2.00 and I'll send you whatever's "hot":

Of course, that will include the most recent executable and docs.

P.S. I haven't gotten a response to my previous query regarding the endless
retry situation with "Write to bad floppy". Has anyone checked it out?
