I am not an apologist for Central Point, nor an employee. But I do know that they have a version of a tape backup program that runs in enhanced mode in Windows 3.1 (Not too well in 3.0) like a thoroughbred. I can be minimized, and it has a full set of features. Aside from the fact that PC Tools now takes up 8.4 megs of hard disk real estate, its a fine application. But the tape drive support is _excellent_. Bar none. -- davel@comtch.spk.wa.us (Dave Laird) IEAx for lack of a better name... (509) 624-0744
