I would like to make this to where it can read in a text file with
additional file names to copy. Or any other ideas would be appreciated.
Ideally I could add and subtract files by clicking on them.
Thanks.

skywalker,
Attached is a program I'm using with customers to do a data backup without any user interaction. It is in a very rough state right now, as I am making some changes. When the program is working as intended, with the following command line:
dateback E: file12bBackedUp.dat, file22bBackedUp.dat
it does the following:
This is run from a batch file associated with a DeskTop Icon. The first parameter is the destination drive--CDRW or USB thumb drive.
The remaining parameters are the files to be backed up.
The total size of the files to be backed up is calculated and the destination drive is checked for available space.
If there is not enough space available, the oldest folder previously created by this program is deleted and the available space is recalculated.
A new folder is created with the current date as: 20051215THU
The files to be backed up are copied to the newly created folder.

Many thanks. I haven't done programming for about 8 months. I'll look it over and study it. Is this a console program?

It is not a console program, it creates a simple dialog, then hides it, then removes the button from the taskbar so that the user is not tempted to close the program. It really should be a service, but I didn't know how then and it works just fine.

I will need some help at some point in converting it to masm style.
