I wrote a little FB 3 utility for FB 3 Project (ΒΌ) files to make backing up
a project folder filled with loads of old version litter easy for
evolutionary programmers like myself.

Often before making a big change for example, I will save a copy of
"include.incl", delete it from the project, rename the copy to
"include2.incl" and add that to the project, leaving the older one in the
folder. This can add up to clutter over time, making backing up just the
used files more difficult.

Backup Beastie will copy the project itself and  only the project files
alone, leaving old version clutter behind.  Remote aliased are piled into a
folder if so chosen. For local aliased files it will recreate any local
folder structures found in the project folder.

Requires:
PPC only right now, FB 3 projects. (68K is possible, small problem preventing)
Limited to 1000 local files, 240 local and remote aliased files and 25
levels deep folder madness.

-Please Read The (Brief) Manual.-

If you find it useful, at least an email is appreciated. If more useful,
see the readme. :) Use at your own risk of course. The splash alone may
frighten some. For now, this is an app, not a plugin.
