Regarding Copy II+... I got V 6.0 or 6.6 packed in with my Laser 128 when I ordered it and am quite surprised at how good of a prgram it really is. The fact that you can take a file from any dos disk (3.3 or prodos) and have it do all the work of transferring it to another disk of the same or ANOTHER dos is quite nice. The program also does some basic housekeeping for your disks and will even check your drive speed for you. I'm quite pleased to have received a copy of it with my Laser 128.

The problem is: Copy II+ v9.x changes the ProDOS QUIT routine to its own little routine. Meaning, if you had ProSel or any other specific QUIT routine, C2P will override/overwrite it. I wish they hadn't done that. It makes life a lot more difficult... UUCP: crash!pro-europa!pete ARPA: crash!pro-europa!pete@nosc.mil INET: pete@pro-europa.cts.com

I've been having all kinds of problems with copy II plus 8.3, when copying 3.5 inch disks. They keep coming out with the driectories garbled, or system files munged. Or I tried copying the whole disk file by file to my ramdrive (1 meg slot 5 drive 1), but it kept giving me a prodos error $4a when I tried to have more than a given number of files on the disk. I'm not referring to the 51 file limit of the main directory, but it would barf when trying to place files even into subdirectories. But when I cleared up some space on the card by deleting files the subdirectories worked fine. I thought the 255 file limit was the number of files in a given SUBdirectory copy II+ could handle. Was I wrong? --- Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I.

ECP8 does this as well, and that is one of the main reasons I do not use it, though it has many nice features. The other reason is that nothing prints when I type the appropriate commands. This may be due to the serial firmware bug on the original IIc's (one of which I have) -- Doug Reeder USENET: ...!tektronix!reed!reeder from ARPA: tektronix!reed!reeder@berkeley.EDU BITNET: reeder@reed.BITNET the Little Mermaid on materialism: I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things ... could be bad!
