well this message didn't take as long...

joy.... hey, there's always email...

i uploaded it there... unfortunately it has a call back verifier and not
all of the file bases are free for download (the the av one is - but
there's no guarantee that the file has been moved to that area yet)...

 BW> I have v3.02 which won't install; it creates the subdir but fails

oh, well i would suggest you let the producers know... i'm sure they'd
be interested in improving the installation of their product...
 BW> SBABR says it is System Boot Area Antivirus, but it would seem that
 BW> System Boot Area Backup and Restore would fit???
yup, it would...
