Does anyone have a version of Turtle newer than 2.15? George Woodside (the author) tells me there's a 2.16 which fixes the bug that's stopping me from doing backups. He said it's floating around Genie, Compuserve, maybe some other places, but I haven't seen any mention of it here. If anyone has a copy, could you forward it to me or post it to the list? Thanks in advance.

I haven't posted them to the net because the changes are minor, and 2.18 will be a more significant change. I'll post that when it's ready. The only reason you may need 2.16 or 2.17 is bug fixes, for some very obscure bugs. If you are having problems, mail me a disk, and I'll send you a copy of 2.17. If you're looking for new features, you have to wait for 2.18. It will allow you to set up your options in a data file, do an install application on the data file type, and use it to launch TURTLE. It will then come up with all your options set (including PATH and disk number). That allows you to set up option data files for each different backup sequence you have. It also has the directory full bug fix, of course. It should hit the net in a couple of weeks. If you do happen to be encountering the RAMdisk directory full problem, and can't get a backup done, mail me a disk: George R.
