     Central Point Software never got around to fixing all of the major
bugs in Copy II Plus v9.x. Some users reported trashed hard disks thanks
to a bug in the v9.0 CATALOG sorting option. This did, supposedly, get
fixed in v9.1. (Even so, letting any utility do a CATALOG sort on a hard
disk partition sounds like asking for trouble.) v9.1 still does not work
correctly with /RAM5 RAMdisk.

     Starting around issue #74, Computist readers began reporting
various glitches and others suggested fixes. So, really, any number of
hackers have had the *nerve* to make patches.
