/ ===================================================================== \
|  Backup / Restore is my first real project for any calculator. I've   |
|  Played around alot with the 82, 86, and 89 BASIC and just decided to |
|  Acually doing something useful. I've only seen a few other programs	|
|  that backup your data, and they all sucked. Either they risked ROM	|
|  problems, or they could blow up your calculator, or they were very	|
|  user unfriendly or they just plain sucked. I started this program to |
|  give the community a new, improved, better, stable and user friendly |
|  backup program for your TI-89. I've tried to do as much testing as I |
|  could, but I know theres bound to be a couple of bugs. If you do find|
|  one, please email me at dnite@planetquake.com.			|
|									|
|  	:Installation:							|
|  Installation is pretty easy. Simply transfer the BACKUP.89G file to  |
|  your TI-89 and run BACKUP\INSTALL(). This will install and archive   |
|  the backup files so that your don't lose THIS program in a crash 	|
|  either. After the installation is done, simply run BACKUP() from 	|
|  the BACKUP folder.							|
|									|
|	:Backing Up Files:						|
|  Using Backup/Restore is almost as easy as installing it! If you want |
|  to backup some files, you use the 'Backup Files' option from the 	|
|  Main Menu. When you select 'Backup Files', a screen telling you that |
|  it's generating a file list will pop up. This shouldn't take long.	|
|  When it's done, enter the files menu and you can select any files	|
|  you would like to backup. (Note: This process is only adding files   |
|  you want to backup to a list. No changes are really happening now)	|
|  when you are done selecting the files you want to backup, select 	|
|  'Next'. It will now backup your files and bring you back to the main |
|  menu. Thats it! You've just backed up your files!			|
|									|
|  Note: If a backup exists already, for the time being, you must pick  |
|  an option to either delete the backup, restore and delete the backup |
|  or do nothing. I plan on implimenting it in a later release, but for |
|  now, it was just taking too long to make bug free.			|
|									|
|	:Restoring Files:						|
|  Probabaly the easiest of functions in the whole program. If you want |
|  to restore files that you previously backed up, just select 'Restore'|
|  from the main menu and it will automaticly restore your files to the |
|  folder called RESTORE. Another Note: If there are any files in your 	|
|  RESTORE folder that will be restored from this backup, they will be	|
|  automaticly overwritten by the current files.			|
|									|
|	:Deleting Backup:						|
|  if you don't need a backup anymore, need to free up some room, or 	|
|  need to make a new backup, you can delete the current one by either  |
|  selecting it from the main menu, or by trying to make another backup |
|  when one already exists.						|
|									|
|	:To Come:							|
|  Hopefully I will find the time to continue to work on Backup/Restore |
|  and other TI-89 programs. I have alot of work to do with this program|
|  but I figured that I wouldn't have anything to release for another 4 |
|  or 5 months is I was to try and impliment is all. Currently, I want  |
|  to add a few user friendly features, like backup merging, multiple   |
|  backups, better/smaller UI, non-flib version, and many more. If you  |
|  have suggestions. lemme know!					|
