Backup To Floppy?

[Tim Boring]

Richard,

I typically just save the 'Richard' file to floppy. I do not save the
.xac and .log files in my backups.  I have started compressing the file
because it's almost 2mb in size.

To automate the process, I wrote a shell script and then scheduled it to
run weekly via cron. If it'd be helpful, I could send you a copy of the
script.  Just let me know.
