This is the official release date of the BackWorks 2.4 Release A.
In this .ZIP file you should have the following files:
README.DOC -- This document
BWBACK.EXE -- The main BackWorks Program File.
BW.OVR -- BackWorks supplement file.
INSTALL.EXE -- Program to install BackWorks 2.4a onto your
hard drive.
INSTALLATION
BackWorks is a fully-featured, commercial product that is
designed to be installed from the original BackWorks System Disk.
Because of this, there is a little work to do to prepare
these files for proper installation. NOTICE: If you do not follow
this setup exactly, you will NOT be able to install BackWorks,
and it will not operate.
STEP 1): Format a floppy diskette (any size), and give
it a volume name of "SYSTEM 1" (omit the double
quotation marks, of course).
To format a floppy with a volume name, do the
following (assuming that your floppy is in
drive A:):
"FORMAT A:/v" (omit the quotes!)
Now, if you are formatting a 360K (double density)
floppy, in a 1.2 meg floppy drive, then you
would type the following (for DOS 3.2 or later):
"FORMAT A:/4/v"
Likewise, if you are formatting a double density
3½" floppy diskette in a 1.44 meg floppy drive:
"FORMAT /n:9/t:80/v"
STEP 2): Once the diskette is properly formatted, and does
have the volume name SYSTEM 1 (include that space
you see between SYSTEM and 1), then copy the
BWBACK.EXE, BW.OVR, and INSTALL.EXE files to
the new floppy.
STEP 3): From your DOS command line (whether you're on the
hard drive, or on the floppy - it doesn't matter),
type INSTALL and press the <Enter> key.
STEP 4): When you see the BackWorks Installation Menu appear,
select Install BackWorks, to install the program.
STEP 5): When prompted, enter the source drive (it defaults
to
the A drive, but you can change this by entering the
proper drive letter, typing over the default).
Then press <Enter>. Next, you will be prompted
for the PATH to install to. NOTE: You must type this
PATH completely. For example, say I'm installing
BackWorks in C:\BACKUP\. The proper way for me to
enter this is to leave off the last "\" in the
above line. For example:
C:\BACKUP
would be the proper syntax for the path to install
to.
You can change the default PATH to install to by
press <Alt-D> or your BackSpace key to remove the
default of C:\ (which is incomplete), and type in
your new PATH. If the PATH is on the C:\ drive,
leave
C:\ alone as the default, and append to it, the new
PATH. i.e.: type BACKUP "after" the C:\ prompt
to choose C:\BACKUP as the destination PATH.
STEP 6): When you are prompted for the "License Name" simply
type COMMERCIAL and press <Enter>.
STEP 7): When you are prompted for the "License Number"
simply
type 0000 and press <Enter>. (When you register your
copy, you will receive the proper License Number. If
you do enter you NAME as the License Name, it will
be replaced anyway, without the proper License
Number).
STEP 8): When the installation signals that it is complete,
remove your disk and file it in a safe place.
That concludes the installation process.
REGISTRATION
BackWorks is not Public Domain, or FreeWare. BackWorks is a
commercial product, that IS available as ShareWare. Specifically,
it is provided as ShareWare to allow users like yourself, a
period of time to evaluate the program. If you like it, and
continue using it, you are required to register the program
within 14 days of continued use. Otherwise, just stop using it!
When you register BackWorks you will receive a BackWorks
System Disk, with a personalized License Number, and a complete
User's Manual for the software.
You can register BackWorks in a couple of different ways:

We encourage registration of BackWorks because it provides
the user full update privileges for 1 year, absolutely free! You

that good software will continue to be developed, and made
available to the general public on this level/platform
