- This is the readme.txt file for BaR version 1.0 28 January 1994
-
-
- BaR is a PM-based front end for OS/2's backup and restore text-based programs.
-
-
- To run BaR you need the following:
-
- - BaR.exe
- - VROBJ.DLL
- - Rexx support
- - OS/2's backup and restore
-
- Optional files are:
-
- - BaR.ico (if you don't care what BaR.exe looks like or don't
- plan on creating an object)
- - BaRHlp.txt (if you don't care about text-based on-line help)
- - e.exe (used to edit backup log files)
-
-
- Installing and Starting BaR Front End
-
- Create a directory in which BaR.exe and its icon file will reside. Move
- Watcom's VROBJ.DLL into a directory specified by the libpath statement in
- your config.sys. You can put BaR in a directory in your path, but you will
- gain nothing by doing so since BaR *must* be started from the directory in
- which it resides. There are three reasons for this:
-
- 1) BaR looks for its INI file in the current directory; if it doesn't
- find it, BaR creates one.
- 2) If you select to have OS/2's backup log the backup session to a
- file, that file will be written in the directory from which BaR
- is started.
- 3) The Log menu items (Edit and Delete) expect to find those log files
- in the directory from which BaR is started.
-
- I could have have written the directory information to the OS2.INI file, but
- refrained from doing so primarily because it bothers me when other applications
- write to my user file uneccessarily, and I can only surmise that others feel
- the same way.
