- 7zip is no longer
required. I've incorporated a stand-alone command line version
(7za.exe) in the FEBE package. Users will not have to
download any
3rd party archive utilities.
- The
backup is
done in the background. No more ugly DOS windows. But since FEBE
effectively freezes Firefox while the backup is running, there is a
popup window indicating the backup is in progress.
- You
must have the
windows program "wscript.exe" installed for FEBE to work. This should
not be a problem since it has been part of the OS since Windows95.
- I'm
pretty sure I
got all the bugs out, but be aware that this is a release
candidate. Please report any problems in the
forum.
