- Actually, BackMaster will be using QIC-500 format. The reason
- is that QIC-500 has a clean support for OS/2 Extended Attributes
- which is not supported well in the QIC-80 specification, and is
- not supported at all in most DOS QIC-80 implementations.
-
- QIC-500 is upwardly compatible from QIC-40 and QIC-80 so you can
- at least read DOS backups.
