*WARNING*
As I indicated in an earlier article, my use of Central Point Software's
Copy-to-Hard-Disk program, while copying to an Apple HD20, yielded some
successes, some crashes (NOT disk, of course), and an eventual result of
about 1 Megabyte missing from my disk (top level folder's GetInfo says x
bytes in use; window shows (x - ~1Megabyte) available).
I have talked to Central Point Software and, while they could not shed any
light on the reason for the problem, or recommend a method of resolving it,
they indicated that the current version (4.2?) does *NOT* support the HD20!
Hence, use it at your own risk! They anticipate an HD20 compatible version
in about one month.
REQUEST:
Speaking of HD20s, I find that all of my low-level programs, such as Fedit
and ResEdit V 0.5 no longer work. I'd appreciate it if someone would post
(or mail) me any later versions of such public domain software/shareware
that might have a better chance of working with the HD20.
ANSWER:
A previous article wondered about the END-OD-FILE error received from
BinHex V4 while converting RedRyder V7... As I recall, that was posted in
two parts. It was necessary to get BOTH parts and, using an editor, append
the BINHEX code into ONE file prior to using BinHex. Don't leave any blank
lines or extraneous garbage between the sections!
Have a nice day.
