V4.0 Quarterback
12 messages in this thread
Hello,
I received my V2.04 today, but I see that I cannot backup my disk with
Quaterback V4 and expect to restore those files after formatting my hard
drive under V2.04. Can you send me the upgrade via email here?
Thanks.
Cheers, Paul (WA1OMM)
Paul,
The only problem that V4 of Quarterback should have with Workbench 2.04 is
that when you quit the program, the floppy drives are not released back to
the system. V4.3 fixes this, but you can still use V4 under 2.04 to backup
and restore. The only thing different that you will have to do is reboot
after you exit the program. If you don't reboot and never use the
floppies, you will never know the difference.

Does v4.2 have this problem as well?

Harry,
Yes, 4.0-4.2 does have the problem of hanging the drives on exit. 4.3
fixed that specifically.

Mark: I just got my 2.04 stuff today, and AFTER (gulp..) I did a complete
backup I read something in the docs from C= that says Quarterback before
4.3 have some sort of problem (and I've seen here from you that part of the
problem is releasing the floppies back to ADos). I now see that I have
Quarterback version 2.2 (Geez… guess I'm a bit out of touch…). Anyway,
my question is: Can I go ahead and trust the backup I just did (65
floppies!), upgrade to 4.3, then restore my 2.2 backup using 4.3? Oh, and
how much is the upgrade from 2.2 (If you've already answered that a
gazillion times, I'm sorry…)? I'm hung out here, so your response will
be greatly appreciated.

I'm about to upgrade to 2.04 and was wondering if I could use Quarterback
v1.4 to backup my harddrive under 1.3 and restore under 2.04???

Versia,
I simply do not know if Quarterback 1.4 works under 2.04 or not. I would
bet that it does not. I would suggest upgrading to the current version.
That would be $25 plus the original disk. You can send that to:

Mark,
I understand the upgrade cost for quarterback 2.2 to 4.3 is $10 in the
states. Same cost for Canadians? Who do we make the money order out to –
Central Coast or New Horizons?

Mark, I also just upgraded to 2.04. I have version 4.0 of Quarterback.
How much is the upgrade to 4.3?? Thanks, Norm
Norm,
The upgrade from Quarterback 4.x to 4.3 is free from charge. You just need
to send your original disk to:
Central Coast Software
P.O. Box 164287
Austin, TX 78716
We'll get the new version out to you as soon as possible once your disk
arrives.

Mark, Thanks! I will send out my disk ASAP for the upgrade.
