[comp.sys.mac] Need "auto-saver" INIT, etc., for Mac

ra_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (07/22/89)

A friend of mine is looking for some sort of INIT or other utility which
automatically saves your work at periodic intervals.

Can anyone recommend a good one?  Are there any problems associated with them
that I should be aware of?

Thanks for any info!

I just downloaded Autosave II Demo from Compu$erve.  It turns itself off
after 30 minutes (so you have to buy the real thing), but it seems to work
as advertised.  If there's enough interest, I could try to post it to
comp.binaries.mac, or I could e-mail it to you to show to your friend.

AutoSave II retails for $49.95, from Magic Software, Inc. 1602 Cascio Dr.
Bellevue, NE 68005 (402) 291-0670 (800) 342-6243

I tried to mail this, but it bounced, so I'll post it to the net.
There is a SW da around called "Saviour" which does just what you are looking
for.  I don't use it personally, but know those who have who say that it does
work well.  I don't remember what the SW fee is.  I have an archived copy
around somewhere which I will be glad to mail you if you can't find it.
