Ray, thanks _very_ much.

I've touched up your BACKUP.CMD file so you can specify the drive letter
on the command line:

@echo off
:: If no parameter, display Help
if _%1 == _ goto Help
:: Check for a "good" drive letter
for %%x in (c C d D e E f F g G h H i I) do if %%x == %1 goto GoodDrv
echo ERROR - the specified drive must be C D E F G H or I, cannot be
%1
echo.
goto Help
:GoodDrv
:: Back up using the specified drive letter
zip -rgSu9TvE I:\BACKUP\zip%1 %1:\ >I:\BACKUP\%1.log
goto EndOfCmd
:Help
echo Syntax is BACKUP DRVLTR
echo where DRVLTR is the letter of the drive to be backed up
echo Example: BACKUP C
:EndOfCmd
