Author:       ceppe@pandora.be (Chris De Maeyer)
Uploader:     ceppe pandora be
Type:         disk/bakup
Version:      1.8
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

This program can be used to backup changed files. It supports XPK packer
for space saving. Together with 'FMirror' it creates a mirror.

Features:
            - CLI program useable in scripts (= QUIET mode)
            - simulate backup (= NOCOPY mode)
            - backup one directory or include subdirectories (= ALL mode)
            - supports pattern matching
            - XPK compression support (= PACK mode) (needs XPK distribution)
            - changed files only or full backup (= FORCE mode)
            - date/time from original file can be preserved (= CLONE mode)
            - filenotes are copied (or not with NOCOMMENT)
            - window run mode for information (= GUI mode)
            - specify configuration file with paths and options (= batch mode)
            - GUI available via Argue (arguments gui)
            - select files before/after certain date
            - 'FMirror' program (= maintain a mirror backup) with GUI mode.

Changes to previous versions: MAJOR UPDATE

            - bugfixes (see doc for details)
            
            - no new features, this distribution intended to get some
              users going ASAP
                                    
Requirements:

            - no special requirements if you DO NOT utilize pack mode
            
            - needs 'XPK Compression/Decompression' library distribution
              if using pack mode. Should be a standard OS enhancement
              for all Amiga's by now !
            
            - GUI options via Argue.

Major benefits:

            - small(ish)
            - quick (quickest in CLI mode [use QUIET])
            - MAILWARE

Future:

            - do you want DOCS in AmigaGuide ? Then tell me so...
