Release Notes

Version 2.1

  Fixed a problem with an incompatibility with SMARTDRV
     delivered with Windows 3.1.  It did not work with the write
     back cache enabled.  Although we have fixed this, we
     strongly recommend that you not run SMARTDRV with this
     feature enabled.  Read the warning in the Windows 3.1 manual
     and see if you don't agree.

  Fixed a problem during Backup of ignoring an exit selection
     when an overwrite data warning is issued.

  Fixed a problem with an occasionally miss placed prompt for
     filename.

  Fixed a problem if you were attempting to backup one and only
     one file that was less than 100 bytes, MAKEBAK failed to
     back it up.

  Changed the Mouse interface in GETBACK to only respond to the
     Up and Down click (Previously certain screens responded with
     the Down click only).

  Changed the Mouse interface in MAKEBAK and GETBAK to be
     limited to the active areas of the screen.

  Added a Timeout to the Shareware version on nag screen to
     allow running MAKEBAK from a batch file.

  Fixed a problem with certain mouse drivers in MAKEBAK and GETBAK.

  Changed the way 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 are displayed for improved compatibility
      with certain displays.

  Fixed a problem with small undefined directories in the "Define a
        new Tree" portion of the Edit Include Excludes.

Version 2.2

  Fixed a problem with MakeBak if there is less than 1024 bytes
        available on a DOS backup disk.

  Fixed Spawner's ability to handle an unlimited size DOS environment.

Version 2.3

  Fixed a problem with GetBack when you save the configuration from
        the second menu screen.

  NOTE: For Windows Users - When running GetBack from Windows, files 
        the Windows has open will not be backed up.  Backup Windows
        Files using GetBack run from DOS.

Version 2.3a April 2, 1993

  Fixed a problem with GetBack on certain Novell Machines.  It was
        leaving the configuration file open before spawning MakeBak.

  Added a disk reset at the end of Makebak to prevent problems with
        some disk caches.



Version 2.4 December 8, 1993

   Fixed problem with 2 prompt screens that would not accept lower case. 
        This occured only during a recover when the master backup
        directory spanned 2 disks.

   Change so on recover only the needed directories are created 

   Fixed the backup set name, date & time at the top of the recover
        screen to be correct.  This problem only occured when recovering from
        a disk with multiple backup sets.

   Changed the use of GBK_LOG.  GBK_LOG environment variable now
        defines where the configuration files are stored as well as
        the Backup set information as defined in the manual.

         February 11, 1994      
   Changed GETBAK for de-compression problem that caused GetBak to
        hang with certain data pattern.    

        add Ignore option when disk errors occur

        fix double backup of backup up spec/s when no sub directories and
                /E was not given
        virtualize file list so getback & makebak can now backup unlimited
                number of files (must have free local directory space to create
                a scratch file)

        change remaining bytes to go to 0

        clear archive bits at the end of the program rather than as used

        give a message center on read error, also on unable to 
                open during backup
