Re: File exchange bug in Mac OS 9 - crashes on copy to Prodos volume

[Wayne Stewart <waynes@intergate.bc.ca>]

I've noticed this but figured that it'd get fixed along with all the other
bugs
when OS 9.1 comes out. Mayhaps I was wrong and should have been
screaming at Apple to get this fixed.
Generally it hasn't been a problem as my IIe and IIgs and Mac are networked.
Anyways I guess I'd better start acting like a sqeaky wheel.
