   Seems like most MiNT'ers use Spin!... ;-))))
   
   I really like CDWriter + though...I backed up my 2 gig Toshiba HD in
   approx. 30+ mins, on 2 CDR's at 4x... Love that security. Just wish
   it would back up a Minix partition as well. 
   
   Hmm...never noticed the memory usage. I'll have to reboot with the new
   version and see! ;-)
   
   Thanks for your help...
   
   Catch ya later!
