Subject:	SCOUG-Help: REXX Interface to BA2K CLBACK Program

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Attached please find a zip file that contains a REXX program for
interfacing with the CLBACK commandline backup program from Computer
Data Strategies, Incorporated (CDS). They are the makers of Back
Again/2000

To use the REXX program you need the following:

1. Back Again/2000
2. Object REXX
3. A color monitor

The zip file contains an *.htm readme file, which has ALL of the
instructions. It's very complete, I think.

The REXX program allows you to select and save any of the 24 backup
options for the CLBACK commandline program. Also, following suggestions
from Sandy, Svobi and others the program has the following enhancements:

1. Ability to monitor the size of the backup file to warn in case of a
potential file size overflow prior to starting the backup

2. Automatic updating of the backup filename with the inclusion of the
date

3. Ability to execute 2 or more backups in a single command

I will place the zip file out on Hobbes.
