- Isaac,
- I suffered much the same fate as you described with NDW. I tried several
- other applications, and until I finally re-tried Central Point Software's
- CPBACKUP application, I was about to give up the ghost on this project
- forever.
- Amazingly, it WORKS, either in the foreground or the background. It is as
- close to being seamless as anything I could ask for of Windows 3.1.
- The only hitch that I have to point out is that you need at least a few
- MEG of memory for it to work in the background. Aside from that, I am
- happy.
- I also hasten to point out that Colorado Memory Systems just released
- their latest Windows software as well. However, I have yet to get it
- running AT ALL. Maybe a minor glitch. 8-(
