- This report has been sent to CP, but they're on a two-week
- vacation, so I don't know when they will get to it.
-
- Do not, I repeat, do not use CP Backup to backup hard disks. There is a
- major bug in it. When you try to reconstruct the history file (necessary
- before you can restore), the stack can grow to the point where it
- overwrites the code doing the restoration. I speak from sad experience.
- I currently have a lot of software development (basic to a patent I'm
- working on) stuck on floppies waiting for a fix from Central Point. This
- report applies to versions 2 and 2.01a. I'll follow up when things get
- fixed.
