- This is MRBackup, a hard disk backup program for the Amiga. You are
- authorized to use and redistribute MRBackup. MRBackup may not be sold for
- profit, though reasonable duplication and distribution fees ($5.00 or less)
- may be charged.
-
- MRBackup is a shareware product. If you find MRBackup useful, a small
- contribution would be greatly appreciated ($5.00 is fine, $10.00 makes me
- smile and $20.00 inspires me to add features :-). Your comments and
- suggestions are also enthusiastically welcomed. Thanks.
-
- Enclosed with MRBackup is a copy of the ARP shared library, arp.library.
- MRBackup depends upon this library for much of its support, including the
- file requester, filename pattern matching, etc. Other ARP-based programs
- will share the code in this library with MRBackup, reducing memory demands
- on your system. ARP (Amiga Resource Project) is the creation of a team of
- programmers headed by Charlie Heath of MicroSmiths, Inc. and is
- distributed by MicroSmiths. Version 39.1 (1.3 distribution) is included in
- this release of MRBackup. If you have a more recent version, you will want
- to modify the included Install script to omit copying arp.library from this
- distribution.
-
- MRBackup is also distributed as an lharc archive. You are free to
- redistribute MRBackup though you may only charge a nominal handling fee
- ($5.00 or less) for doing so. I have received many phone calls from
- confused users who were missing one or more files in the distributions they
- downloaded from BBS's, commercial information systems, etc. If you
- redistribute MRBackup, the distribution MUST include the following files:
-
- MRBackup - The program
- MRBackup.info - Program icon
- MRBackup.TXT - Document (COPY MRBackup.TXT to prt:)
- MRBackup.init - Default preferences file
- MRBackup.bflt - Default backup filter file
- MRBackup.cflt - Default compression filter file
- MRBackup.dflt - Default decompression filter file
- arp.library - The Amiga Resource Project shared library
- ReadMe - This file

- DISCLAIMER
-
- I will not be held financially responsible for damages or mental anguish
- incurred as a result of using MRBackup. Use it carefully and it will most
- likely serve you well. Before committing all of your files to an MRBackup
- save set, test drive it. See how it works with your installation. I know
- this is a radical thought, but you may even want to
-
- READ THE MANUAL
-
- Though I do a certain amount of testing when adding new features, the tests
- are not exhaustive due to time constraints (I have a "real" job and a life
- beyond the Amiga - hard t' b'lieve!) and MRBackup's history includes a few
- dark moments. If you encounter problems, I am very responsive to feedback
- and will attempt to get an update to you promptly, when warranted. You can
- obtain the current version at any time by sending me a 3.5" diskette with a
- postage-paid, addressed return envelope or mailer or $2.00. If you want me
- to hold your request for the next update, specify this in your letter.
