Can Anyone Give Me A Clue

[Chipp Walters]

Hey Rob,

Sorry to hear about your problems. I worked yesterday for a couple of hours,
then did a DistroBuild and BAM!!! All my files including the source files
got deleted!!!

Thank God for the ArchivePlugin I wrote. I only save using it nowadays. It
saves the stack, then makes an incremental backup in a folder called
"archive" in the same directory as the stack. I was able to successfully go
back and pull the latest Archived version (which was the same as the
duplicated version).

Check it out if you like. It's at:

good luck,

Chipp
