I think this has been well covered by others. Let me add another
huge vote
for UNIMAINT, one of the truly indispensable OS/2 app.s. It
should handle all
your (Warp configuration) backup tasks automatically. I've been
running v.
5.10.15 (the next to most recentt CSD) for a long time, and it
has been as close to
bulletproof as software gets. There was an installer change for
the last
CSD, and I didn't want to mess with it unless I got reports that
its reliability
matched that of the ver. I'm running.

If only there was something like UNIMAINT for that other OS . . .
but then,
what with that monstrous Registry and many other critical flaws,
it would still
suck.

The crowd roars ! And consider yourself lucky: almost nothing
these days
still comes with a hardcopy manual (nothin' like it, for those
times when you
can't even access the .PDF or .INF files on your H/D or CD) --
and I think that
includes current purchaseable packages for Graham or UniMaint.

Well . . . I can't say anything here, because I would probably
place 4th. or
5th. in this category myself, but I hope I have the most
important stuff
installed by now. Most of my uninstalled backlog is d/l'd
Shareware or
Freeware.

According to the developer they are. I just hope this stuff
still works
with the 4.5 kernel.

If you've got any more primo uninstalled packages like this that
you don't
know what to do with, give me a call. Don't need AutoCAD,
though.
