Copy II plus

Hi Addie. No patches necessary. Just use the built-in files QS,
QUIT.SAVE and UTIL.QUIT to set the quit path. The manual never
really explained how to use them but, if I could figure them out,
then anybody can. I have mine automaticaly boot my main menu pgm
when I hit the (Q) to quit.

Naaah! I have several earlier versions (including some betas) and
MUCH prefer v.9 . I was a beta tester for v.9 when my ACE2200 was
my # 1 machine. It's still my favorite utility even though # 1 is
now a //GS and # 2 is a 'real' //E. Except for one 'leetle' bug in
sorting directories, it's pretty damn bullet proof.
No ProDOS-8 program can deal with forked files so use C2P with
caution in your //GS.
