OK, that's true ;-)

The difficulty nowadays is that I even do not know =

if these elder SW are working properly with the OS =

versions appearing after the SW's date !!

>Just because RoboSave doesn't have a recent date doesn't mean it =

Changing from WARP version 3 to version 4 I assume the respective =

files have been adjusted to match the system's new data ;-)

EXACT !!

The OS2.KEY indeed is far away from a good set !
Years ago I found some interesting hints and suggestions in a book =

named: OS2 Warp V4 in Team !!
I followed their recommendations and you SCOUGians were very helpful
too ;-))
=

>than on occasion.

OK, this sounds good and I can say the same for my =

WPS builtin archive tool too.

However: I am not fixed to this backup / restore method !
If one finds ie ROBOSAVE is better than the builtin WPS archive system =

I am open for givin it a try ...
=2E.. but I do check actuality, appearing, content and ReadMe's of this =

new tool before running into troubles !

Thanks for your comments ;-)
