Automatic backup of turn files

Wunderbar !! That's just what we needed to have a real "save" feature in Dom3
Can I kiss you Lolly ?

I guess I have to ask my husband first.

- I don't like much having the .backup reps directly under Dom3 rep, I'd prefer to have them underneath each game's rep, ie Dominions3/MyGame/MyGame.backup
I suppose it's rather easy to change ? Just tell me what lines/command to edit, I'm able to do that.

Very well, Master, your wish is my command. I'm working on it.

- For pbems, now that we got automatic numbered zipped turn files we just lack an automatic email sending to a list of addresses (the players) ! Do you think you could handle that ? (I'm sure you can ! )

I lack any dom pbem experience, but I think, --pre/postexec only works when hosting. So this would be a stand-alone program. Like reading the addresses from <gamename>.pbem and sending the .2h file? Something like that?

However, I only used python cause it was available at work (which says something about my working morale). Python isn't my favorite language & if that thing gets bigger, I'll use ruby. No worries, it's a 1.x mb download iirc and called 'ruby-one-click-installer.exe'.

And could you do me a favor and test, if the zip file creation works under XP. TIA.
