Dear Helen,

>It's simple to redirect gbak's text output to a text file and read it

there at your leisure.

I have tried it, but the command

gbak -h >foo.txt

results in an empty (0 byte) foo.txt .

I am using gbak v. WI-T6.2.679 in a W95 dos box.

Should I use a different version ?

Thank you

Duilio Foschi
