echo WHY I WROTE THIS PROGRAM
echo a. I wanted a simple way to restore my computer even though Microsoft includes the program ERU (Emergency Recovery Utility) I found it sadly lacking. If your System .dat is to large ERU simply doesn't copy part of the file, and you are given no warning this has taken place.
echo b. I also wanted a program that used a single diskette.
pause
echo SaveMe WON'T WORK
echo a. SaveMe! assumes that Windows is a directory on your C: Drive (C:\Windows) if you installed or moved Windows to a different Drive (D, E, F) or installed or moved the Windows directory to a directory with a different name (Win, Win95, Windows95) SaveMe Won't work.
echo b. As mentioned above the SaveMe Directory must exist on your C: Drive . Many problems are caused by failure to use the Install program.
