- But, if you are a wise and frugal user of a CMS drive and the software is
- driving you nuts (which it will if you try to USE it) then turn your back
- on the mess and buy the latest copy of PC Tools by Central Point
- Software. I am not an apologist for Central Point, nor an employee. But I
- do know that they have a version of a tape backup program that runs in
- enhanced mode in Windows 3.1 (Not too well in 3.0) like a thoroughbred. I
- can be minimized, and it has a full set of features. Aside from the fact
- that PC Tools now takes up 8.4 megs of hard disk real estate, its a fine
- application. But the tape drive support is _excellent_. Bar none.
