If you are going to ARPify MRB will it be an option? In other words can those of us who have not ARPed yet still use it? In addition to the file utilities you listed would you consider UnDelete too? Idealy one would request a partition and a list of Deleted files in that partition would appear that one could select any number of to UnDelete. Finally, when you send me MRBackup, would you include a copy of Fred's article either on the disk or a hard copy. I recall it and have mentioned it but did not use my head and capture it that night. Thanks much.

You'd just install a copy of the arp.library file on your system disk. When MRBackup started, it would automatically open this library. > In addition to the file utilities you listed would you consider UnDelete too? > Idealy one would request a partition and a list of Deleted files in that > partition would appear that one could select any number of to UnDelete. No. Nah. Yick! That's really outside the scope of MRBackup and should be left to general purpose utility programs. Not only that, but I don't want to figure out how to do it :-). Call Peter Norton :-) x 2 . > Finally, when you send me MRBackup, would you include a copy of Fred's > article either on the disk or a hard copy.
