Hi!

    Central Point pretty well abandoned Copy II+ for Apples after version
9.1 which did, supposedly, fix the bug that ate disks when a user did a
Sort Catalog. '9.1 still has problems with the 'Copy 3.5' and 'Copy 5.25' 
utilities (e.g. Sector Edit)  when RAMdisk is present on a IIgs; and, it
still messes up on DOS-ProDOS transfers.

    Possibly these problems have been fixed by some enterprising hacker.
If so, it would be great to get hold of the patch.
