This is MRBackup, a hard disk backup program for the Amiga. You are
authorized to use and redistribute MRBackup. MRBackup may not be sold for
profit, though reasonable duplication and distribution fees ($5.00 or less)
may be charged.
MRBackup is a shareware product. If you find MRBackup useful, a small
contribution would be greatly appreciated ($5.00 is fine, $10.00 makes me
smile and $20.00 inspires me to add features :-). Your comments and
suggestions are also enthusiastically welcomed. Thanks.
Enclosed with MRBackup is a copy of the ARP shared library,
arp.library. MRBackup depends upon this library for much of its support,
including the file requester, filename pattern matching, etc. Other
ARP-based programs will share the code in this library with MRBackup,
reducing memory demands on your system. ARP (Amiga Resource Project) is
the creation of a team of programmers headed by Charlie Heath of
MicroSmiths, Inc. and is distributed by MicroSmiths. Version 39.1 (1.3
distribution) is included in this release of MRBackup. If you have a more
recent version, you will want to modify the included Install script to omit
copying arp.library from this distribution.
MRBackup is normally distributed as a Zoo archive. You are free to
redistribute MRBackup though you may only charge a nominal handling fee
($5.00 or less) for doing so. I have received many phone calls from
confused users who were missing one or more files in the distributions they
downloaded from BBS's, commercial information systems, etc. If you
redistribute MRBackup, the distribution MUST include the following files:
MRBackup - The program
MRBackup.info - Program icon
MRBackup.TXT - Document (COPY MRBackup.TXT to prt:)
MRBackup.init - Default preferences file
MRBackup.xcld - Default exclude filter file
MRBackup.cflt - Default compression filter file
arp.library - The Amiga Resource Project shared library
ReadMe - This file
DISCLAIMER
I will not be held financially responsible for damages or mental anguish
incurred as a result of using MRBackup. Use it carefully and it will most
likely serve you well. Before committing all of your files to an MRBackup
save set, test drive it. See how it works with your installation. I know
this is a radical thought, but you may even want to
(begin super-liminal suggestion experiment)
READ THE MANUAL
(end super-liminal suggestion experiment).
Though I do a certain amount of testing when adding new features, the tests
are not exhaustive due to time constraints (I have a "real" job and a life
beyond the Amiga - hard t' b'lieve!) and MRBackup's history includes a few
dark moments. If you encounter problems, I am very responsive to feedback
and will attempt to get an update to you promptly, when warranted. You can
obtain the current version at any time by sending me a 3.5" diskette with a
postage-paid, addressed return envelope or mailer or $2.00. If you want me
to hold your request for the next update, specify this in your letter.
