DOS copy programs will copy all of the sectors in the file, regardless of the length. CiderPress obeys the length. If you try to copy & paste one of these files, the copy will be incomplete.

There is one fairly straightforward way around this: change the file type to something other than 'B'
(I am a proud owner of CiderPress and thing the features are cool... Pay those shareware fees!))
I must be missing something. Why wouldn't CiderPress use the FAT information to copy a file form DOS33 disk to DOS33 disk? Why should CP care about the length stored inside the file at all?
Just curious. Thankx, Ed
