     Yes; even version 9.1 is fairly buggy. It does not like RAM disk and 
it is not reliable for copying DOS 3.3 files. Letting a program like this 
mess with your hard disk is asking for trouble. About the only reason to 
keep the last Copy ][+ is for doing file compares.

     Naturally; however, Copy ][+ 8.3 is, still, very nice for moving 
stuff around among DOS and ProDOS diskettes and RAM disk, especially if a 
user does not want to boot System 6 with the 5.25" driver installed.
