I don't think so. The last time I checked Copy ][+ 9.x gave an error
message that leaves you somewhat in the dark as to the problem,
however, it won't copy the file at all.

An early beta version had a message that was closer to telling you
what the problem was. I reported that they needed to make it clearer
just what the problem was. Final version is as you see, worse. So much
for my feedback ;-)

There is an 8 bit program that I have in my "downloads" DB that does
know how to remove the resource fork, put it back and all sorts of
amazing stuff. I never messed with it cause so far I always want the
resource forx copied so I use GS/OS.

Kind Regards,
