My older Partners have only 2 places to save programs : in the machine control
and on floppies .
I am probably not the only one who has paranoid visions of losing all the time spent to write programs , so here is my quick , cheap back up .
Just for the fun of it , I plugged a program disc into my old win98 A: drive , and to my delight , it read it with no problem . Saved them all as text files that will open in WORDPAD. It saves each program as 2 seperate files . One has a P in front . ( run file and edit file ?).
So I guess in the worst case , I could print out the one legible copy , and manually input it back into the machine control .
Someone tell me if there is a better way . If I edit the copy in my desk top , will the control recognize the changes ?
Thanks ,
Bob
