We frequently back up vital data from our hard disk to floppies for "safe" keeping. It would be nice, however, to be able to do a more intelligent dump -- one which can ask for new floppies as space is exhausted and creates directories as needed on the new ones. Automatic formatting of unformatted floppies and tagged file/directory selection would fall into the "extra goodies" category. If anyone knows of some freeware/shareware that meets that description, I'd appreciate a short e-mail note to that effect along with the means to obtain the software -- ie. who to contact, where to ftp, or what BBS number to dial. Many thanks to those who respond. Dave P.S. Thanks to those who sent their reviews about Borland's Quattro. I'll be posting a summary soon. All of the responses were of excellent quality -- factual as well as insightful. ARPA: agv@s.cc.purdue.edu UUCP: cc.purdue.edu!agv BITNET: murrell@purccvm

Try XTREE from Executive Systems. It's a generalized HD maintainer, but one of the things it does is allow you to tags random files and copy them to floppies, prompting for new floppies as needed. XTREE is available mail order in the $30-$40 range and is well worth it. Alan Groupe
