[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Backing Up cwp

Thanks to all the people who replied to my problem of not being able to 
back up my copy of cwp properly. For those who might have run into the same
problem, this is the solution :-

	When the program is first run, it CHANGES the attribute of one of the 
    files ("alpha.cwp" in the "sys" directory) to"system". When DOS is used
    to copy/backup the files, it does not see that particular one and hence
    does not copy it. The solution is to change that file's attribute back
    to normal AND THEN perform the backup. Of course, that floppy should
    then be used only for re-installation, and not for running the program.

Cheers,
Andy.
