Word: Zenith DOS Backup and Restore of Word 1.x and 2.x

1.x 2.x

MS-DOS

Question:

Will Zenith DOS Version 2.x Backup and Restore commands work with the Word Version 1.x and 2.x copy-protection scheme?

Response:

Hidden files can be backed up onto a disk, but not onto a tape. Zenith DOS versions of the Backup program will not back up files with the hidden bit set.

The Word setup procedure inserts four files in the MSTOOLS directory with the hidden bit set. Although the standard PC DOS Backup program can find these files, the DOS Copy command and Zenith DOS Backup command cannot.
