Hi Sam,
What I have done with GWE 2.01 is to use PKZIP to backup my entire
GEOS20 directory using the span and recurse and store switches (-& -rp).
then I have a fully customized backup that I can and have used to
restore my copy of GWE without having to install from scratch. You
might just be able to do the same thing with GW QuickStart. If you need
the options, just type "pkzip" by itself, and you will get all the
options you will need.
It has come in handy for the time I was playing around with fdisk and
wiped out my entire drive (That was a learning experience!). I now have
partition magic, and won't have that happen to me again.
TTYL,
Stephen
