Lest the net think I have forgotten my backup project, I have not.  Now that
I am back to work, progress is slower than I would like on the backup program.

The data base is mostly laid out, user interface is pretty much conceptually
done (actual details yet to be worked out.  my goal is flexibility, but I have
a feeling that the first version won't have all the bells and whistles I want),
and the code I needed to read directories and to execute a subshell is in hand
(thanks to all who replied).

So, for all you waiting for it, hang on its in the works, I have not abandoned
the project, its just going slower than I had anticipated (surprise :-).

"Real Soon Now", as they say.  (RSN is a very precise term, in computerland.
It means "Oh, about 3 days after H*** freezes over", or alternatively, "Next year,
maybe".  Fortunately I doubt seriously that RSN is appropriate in this case, as
I need the program as badly as anybody!)
