- I have noticed that the backup software doesn't like QEMM. We have now
- the backup program on a bootable diskette without QEMM or other TSR's and
- now we aren't having any problems...
-
- I wish the backup program would be better, eg. running from batch file
- something like: backup c: backup d:. I think there was supposedly new
- version coming this fall, experiences anyone?
