void FLbackup (const char Fname[])
</DL>
<H4>Purpose</H4>
<DL>
<DT>
Rename an existing file
</DL>
<H4>Description</H4>
This subroutine backs up a file.  If a file with the given name exists, say
xxx, that file is renamed to xxx~.  Any previous file with the name xxx~ is
removed.  For MS-DOS, the ~ character is the last character in the file
extension.  In MS-DOS xxx is renamed to xxx.~.
<P>
Only regular files are backed up.  If a backup file is created, a warning
message indicating the new name is issued.  One use of this routine is to
a copy of an existing file before opening a new file.
<P>
This routine will terminate execution if the file cannot be backed up.
