   Flame on ME?  I merely suggested that keeping backups would help in a Tro-
jan Horse situation -- I -certainly- didn't mean to say that anyone who doesn't
keep backups "gets what they deserve".  I emphasise keeping backups only be-
cause it's a (more or less) "foolproof" way to be sure you don't lose your
files.  I've lost my HD driectories numerous times by just trying to install
ZCPR3 and modifying the CCP, etc.  Backups, even though it takes up a lot of 
time on a HD and can get costly, are still my most common ways to prevent
files, be it a Trojan Horse or careless mistakes when modifying the CCP.  Sorry
if I gave you the impression that people who don't keep backups get what they
deserve.
