- Vince,
- If you upgrade to Version 8.0 of PC Tools, you may notice that the
- interference between the foreground and a background tape backup under
- Windows seems to have lessened a bit. However, the folks at Central Point
- seemed to have altered the file header of the tape master file in the
- process, because an older backup tape cannot be read by the newer
- application. 8-( Oh well. Hope this helps.
