Author:   cdemaeyer1@mmm.com (Chris De Maeyer)
Uploader: cdemaeyer1@mmm.com
Version:  1.3a
Type:     disk/bakup

This program can be used to backup changed files. It supports XPK packer
for space saving. Together with 'FMirror' it creates a mirror.

Features:
            - CLI program useable in scripts (= QUIET mode)
            - simulate backup (= NOCOPY mode)
            - backup one directory or include subdirectories (= ALL mode)
            - supports pattern matching
            - XPK compression support (= PACK mode) (needs XPK distribution)
            - changed files or full backup (= FORCE mode)
            - date/time from original file can be preserved (= CLONE mode)
            - filenotes are copied (or not with NOCOMMENT)
            - statistics run mode for speed & information (= GUI mode)
            - GUI available via Argue (arguments)
            - 'FMirror' program (= maintain a mirror backup) with GUI mode.

Changes to previous versions: MINOR UPDATE

            - filenotes (comments) on files are copied
            - added NOCOMMENT option
            - compiled with SAS/C 6.58
            - a bonus GFX in archive.

Requirements:

            - no special requirements if you DO NOT utilize pack mode
            
            - needs 'XPK Compression/Decompression' library distribution
              if using pack mode.
              Should be a standard OS enhancement for all Amiga's by now !
              
            - GUI options via Argue V1.3a.  

Major benefits:

            - small(ish)
            - quick (quickest in GUI mode)
            - MAILWARE
            - use in scripts (examples in doc).

Future:

            - add PREFS option.
            - progress bar while copying/Xpk'ing.
            - do you want DOCS in AmigaGuide ? Then tell me so...

Thanks to all guys (& dolls ???) sending MAIL, you keep the ball
rolling... FILENOTE copy came from one of you (cool suggestion, dude !!)
