[comp.sys.mac.system] infinite clock on open

hemstree@handel.CS.Colostate.Edu (charles he hemstreet) (08/02/90)

Hey, anybody have an idea?  I loaded a folder (Kaleidagraph curve fits
to be exact) onto another machine via copy from a 45mb syquest drive.
When I go to open the folder on the destination drive, I get an
infinite watch.  Why does this happen?  It happens to other folders as
well.

Procedure...

Connect syquest to Mac (SE/Mac II/Mac IIci) can happen to any mac...
Boot Mac
Drag item from syquest to hard drive icon on destination mac
Double-click on new folder and then whammo!

This  problem is intermitent.  However, when setting up the lab with
this procedure, every mac I loaded Curve fits folder on would go into
infinite watch.  Opening the folder on syquest did not produce the
same results.  Looks good on syquest, bad on destination mac.

Good one, huh?

Any email response would be appreciated.

Charles
