	What a wonderful set of back-up programs!  I am refering to the
recently posted Vault and Key programs.  The Vault workes wonderfully,
packing diskettes completely.  The Key, ont he other had, didn't work all
that well.  The first time I tried to unpack my 'vualted' disks the hard
drive sat there cratching in the middle of my C:\TEX\TFM folder.  I tried
again it there wern't any errors but the C:\TEX folder was not there
even though The Key said it wrote the relevant files.  I did a 'Show Info'
on C:\ and it acknowledged the space that should have been used up
by C:\TEX (about 5 meg was missing!).  So had to zero the drive and
manual load the files, sigh!  I'll try another back-up and see if it works,
but I'll be damned if I am going to trust The Key to unpack my files (to
test a full back-up I had to zero my C:\ partition; if The Key is indeed
buggy then I'll have to spend hours again reloaded the drive manually).
