Iris v0.3 05.12.2018
-----------------------

Main change:
Using Zip.EXE's option -y to store symbolic links as the link instead of the
referenced file.



Iris v0.2 18.04.2017
-----------------------

Installation:
1) Unzip the files in a directory of your choice.
2) If you want a WPS object, execute WPS.CMD.
3) Change the settings (directory, logging, bootdrive) in IRIS.CMD.


Usage:
IRIS.CMD <backup_directory>

The argument has to be an existing directory like D:, or D:\, or D:\My backups,
or"D:\My backups".

Without an argument the file IRIS.CMD has to be edited to set its backup_dir
variable.


Some of the changes:
Improved installer, which won't replace the object of Iris v0.1. Support for
root directories and HPFS/JFS directory names. Removed some unused variables.



Iris v0.1 15.08.2003
-----------------------

Requirements:
Info-ZIP's Zip.EXE
ArcaOS, eCS or OS/2 with Rexx


Use:
1) Simply start it either by a scheduler or with a doubleclick
2) Have a look into the logfiles


What it does:
1) It finds your bootdrive out. This may sometimes fail (when the OS2.INI ain't
   placed on the bootdrive), but you have still the possibility to enter a value.
2) Then it looks where SWAPPER.DAT is saved and excludes it, if found.
3) An at last it creates the backup file. It's name has the format :
   backup_YYYY_MM_DD.zip
4) If a file with that name already exists, then the execution is interrupted,
   to prevent overwriting backup files.

Known bugs:
I hope non, but please let me know if you find one!
Please send me any kind of feedback to improve it or do it yourself: 
it's GNU software...
