  The program 'Snowing' is probably the  
  only snow most of us will see this     
  year. It uses palette switching to     
  create the effect of falling           
  snowflakes.

  Subject: BACKUP                        
                                         
  Occasionally when backing up disks     
  using the inbuilt *BACKUP command,     
  I've found a error in a single sector  
  somewhere. This aborts the whole       
  backup. Also, if the catalogue is      
  corrupted or doesn't actually hold DFS 
  data then *BACKUP can get confused.    
  So, I wrote this program               
                                         
  It copies every sector and if any      
  sector cannot be loaded because of     
  errors, it retries it a number of      
  times, and then ignores just that one  
  sector and continues.                  
                                         
  It is fairly simple to use. It prompts 
  you for the source and destination     
  drives and the parameters of the disk. 
  Just pressing RETURN will use the      
  defaults shown in brackets. It then    
  proceeds with the backup displaying    
  the progress so far.

    Once again that chap Geordie Brown   
  has come onto the scene or should I    
  say into the canteen for a meal so see 
  what you think about his description   
  of this bowl of tail wagging           
                                         
              SOUP                       
                                         
  As usual set your printer up and ready 
  as it will go straight to it.
