Having had some e-mail and posted answers, it turns out that
the problem is due to CPBackup not being able to cope with fast CPUs.
There is a patch available via Compuserve or (in Europe at least) via
their BBS. Some kind person has e-mailed me the patch so hopefully
that will solve the problem. It is a shame that I have had this
problem as I really the way both the DOS and Windows versions work -
to get the Windows version to work the Symantec people told me to get
the new version of PCtools for Win.
Thanks to all those who helped
