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
~~~~~~~~
Unzip the distribution archive in a temporary directory and run the
setup.exe program. This program will copy all the needed files where you
want and will register the program on your system. This setup program
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.

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

you use this software after the 30 days evaluation period a registration

to register the program ONLY after you have full tested it on your
