[net.micro.mac] Finder 5 WARNING: You will lose files!!

lah@cory.BERKELEY.EDU (Commander RYN Leigh Ann Hussey) (01/10/86)

Watch out, there is an interaction between the old and new finders
that may eat your files:

If you mark a folder as "small icons"  DO NOT give that disk to
someone using the old finder.  If while running under the old finder,
you copy a file-of-the-same-name onto a disk with a small-icons-folder,
and that file replaces a file in the small icons folder, it will erase
not merely the old copy of the file, but also everything else in the
folder. 

This bug has hit me twice.  It is quite a shock to move one ".h" file
from my work disk to my backup disk and have the whole folder of ".h"
files disappear.
