+#! This is a script that will probably end up saving your ass more times
+#! then you'll probably want to admit.  I wrote this back when I was co-deity
+#! of the first empire tourney in December of 1990.  This is a basic script
+#! run from cron usually 15 miniutes before the update and keeps three copies
+#! of the binaries and empire data on hand in tared and compressed format.
+#! If you run faster games increase the frequency of the calls from cron.

+#! Above is a sample cron entry that does the backup three times a day.
+#! This script should run on most all UNIX computers with all you'll have
+#! to do is change the $BACKUPSDIR variable at the top.
