	Although keep in mind there's a bug which will modify the
the ProDOS 'Creation' date. When you copy or move a file, the 'Creation'
and 'Modification' date should *not* change, yet Copy II Plus will do
this -- the current time and date replace the original creation date of
files. 

	I tend to avoid Copy II Plus (any version) expect for making
backups of 5.25 disks or verifying the surface structure of 140k floppy
media. And since I rarely use 5.25 diskettes, Copy II Plus rarely leaves
my disk boxes (At one time I used to backup 3.5 diskettes using C2P, though
found ZZCopy, Photonix or even the Finder a much quicker solution).
