Yes, I've always known about the compare bug, but this was my first experience with a file copy bug! Apparently the program uses its directory track buffer address in place of the data buffer address occasionally. It must be a peculiar circumstance that exercises the bug, since I've used 9.1 to copy hundreds of files and never encountered it until now. ;-( -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
