- Joey,
- as much as I know from bugging the thec suport twice of CP, cpbackup IS
- NOT good for HPFS, ONLY FOR FAT format (but on those it does really
- nice, that's what I use [plus the fact of having two 40MB drives...]).
- CP haven't even starting thinking of making an HPFS compliant prg, their
- just taking notes of their customer wish for it, in other words (in my
- opinion) I doubt very much that they ever will, sigh....
-
- .sig under construction... Might be long because lack of idea?
