The save/restore functions include a seamless user-friendly shell to the popular Pkzip and Pkunzip file compression utilities. o If you like to try out new Windows applications, you won't have to worry about them messing up your current Windows files, because you can now simply and quickly restore them without having to accomplish a tricky de-installation. Other ABCWIN features include a data-integrity/virus self-check, a nice (fast) menu-driven user interface, substantial error checking, documentation embedded within the program, and instructions on how to obtain additional small-config/save/restore programs for other large windows applications, including popular word processors, spread sheet, and presentation packages. As commercial software grows and competes to provide everything for every type of user, it consumes far too many computer resources. ABCWIN is one of a growing family of programs written by the author with the objective of providing the user with additional configuration options and control over his installation, permitting several large applications to comfortably fit onto computers with limited disk space, and achieving a portable easy-to-use backup/restore capability.
