In my eyes ROBOSAVE from 1993 is very, very old !

I believe that ROBOSAVE does not match the new system =

folder and file structure of WARP Version 4 !!

Myself I would really hesitate using such old stuff on my =

accurate system !!!

BTW: I am very happy and satisfied with the WPS builtin =

archive tool but ONE needs to adjust the OS2.KEY file =

to match ONES system needs !!

Well, there is one thing I do not like very much:
To do an archive one has to activate the respective button =

and reboot the system ...
=2E.. and after archiving again ...
=2E.. one has to inactivate that respective button and reboot =

the system again ;-(

Indeed I do accept this since I am sure having a proper =

working WPS archiving system ;-)

Good luck and regards, svobi

Subject: SCOUG-Help: Archive boot, was Checkini hang

> How do I get those files on to the HDD in such a way that they are =

>used during a normal boot?

One man's usolicted opinion after years and years of system/desktop
backups:

Robosave is the only way to fly. It is so customizable, that you can
easily switch back and forth between destop/system setups. You can
archive
the system and save it anywhere you want, only to return to it years
later, if you so desire. For me, it has saved my bacon so many times I
might well have given up on OS/2 years ago without it.

More than a few times I have had to reinstall and using Robosave meant
just installing the system, applying the service pack, and running
roborestore to get everything back, connected and working just fine. =

Want to try a new funky application that messes with your ini and config
files? Robosave, install the funky app, and if it screw up your stuff,
roborestore and go back to work. Sounds like an infomercial to me :-)

The startup archive has always seem to bring heartache and
dissapointment
to those who depend on it (I know, but its sounds poetic )

Use Robosave. Forget about the startup archives. =

Just IMHO and years of backups and restores with no problems.

John
