You won't get an argument from me that MOVER must go - it can be more of a pain
in the posterior than tar (which can be a pain at times)...

I cannot vouch for disc-file-based-:STORE as I cannot create them, and haven't
had the chance to try a :RESTORE from one.  All I know is that TurboStore/iX
7-by-24 is the only version that can create them.

I *have* used TAPECOPY that Lars originally put together and that Keven
updated.  This is one very good tool to have on one's system.
