Well, I thought the Lisa (actually, Mac/XL) was dead, but for all those
people who got one really cheap: long ago I wrote a backup utility for
it.  This was the first backup/restore utility to hit the net, and when
HFS appeared I received many requests for an upgrade to HFS.  I never
got that far (it took a long time before I could lay my hands on the HFS
version of the File Manager documentation), and I decided to spend my
time on something else when I read all the enthousiastic reports on HFS
backup.  It may be possible to locate a copy of my backup program in old
Usenet or BBS archives; if you can't find it, I can mail you a new copy.
