I've got about 6MB of mostly bitmap and some TrueType fonts that I've collected over the years. Yesterday, I loaded them all from floppies into a folder on my hard disk. I created an empty suitcase, and selected all the font suitcases I had (using the neat new Find command). I then option-dragged all of them to the empty suitcase, to create a font package I could open with Suitcase. The Finder put up its copy dialog, eventually ending up with something over 1000 items to copy (I imagine because of all the point sizes), so I went to watch TV. I came back a little while later to an error of type (-195) [or was it -192], "resource not found". The only way I could get this to work was to copy the font suitcases in smaller chunks, say about 250 "copy items" at a time. Are there intrinsic limits to what the Finder can copy, then? What are they? System: Mac IIci, 8MB real RAM, with +4MB fake, System 7 Golden, Suitcase 1.2.10, nothing running but the Finder. Thanks, Richard C.
