What's New
~~~~~~~~~~~
This the first released version of this program. However this
program is not new and the technology inside it is an evolution of the 
matured experience made on the already well known program GRBack.

Evolution
~~~~~~~~~~
We are working to add more options to the future versions of GRBackPro.
We have planned to add a Registry dialog to simplify the system registry
backup both in Windows 98/95 and Windows NT.
Other planned options are: backup simulation, report print and many more.


Install

allows you to add a desktop icon, and to list the program into the 
"Start Menu" or into the "Start Menu\Programs" menu. It also registers 
itself into the Control Panel to allow a quick and full Remove.

From the "Control Panel" - "Add/Remove Programs" you can quickly remove the
program (completely) from your system how the Windows 95 standard requires.
