Unimaint and my syBackup.cmd are both doing the same thing (zipping up
the files). I like having a freestanding backup program so I can start
it different ways -- from startup.cmd plus on a timer plus "when I want
to". I delete the older backups manually.

Speaking of UniMaint, I have a question about UniMaint Repair of the
OS2*.INI files. I run these two repair options:

Do All WPS, PM and File Handle Repairs
Do All Inidividual INI File Repairs

Should any of the others be run? The manual isn't clear on which
selections should be run during normal scheduled maintenance.
