[net.micro.mac] fpack 2.x

jimb@amdcad.UUCP (Jim Budler) (02/05/86)

Despite many flames due to my previous posting of fpack for the mac I went
ahead with further efforts yo make it more of a Mac style program.

(I also got several thank you letters) 

Now version 2 is almost ready except for one bug. If the disk fills
up while unpacking or packing, the program blithely goes on about it's efforts
with nary a whimper of complaint.  It's detectable by the absence of disk 
sound while 100k of data is supposedly being (un)packed.

I know I'm not the only one with this problem.  I got an otherwise excellent
terminal program from Compuserve, with a phone number list, macros etc.
but unfortunately, when I downloaded a large file the disks got quiet on
it also.

Any ideas? Please!!! I've thought of several, but don't really like any of them.
