On a mildly different topic, is it really true that autoboot is the only
difference between 1.2 and 1.3 kickstart?  I find this hard to
believe because dos.library would seem to need to be in ROM.
If it is, how does the 1.2 DOS handle setting the archive bit?
(or was this in 1.2 and I never noticed because I got 1.3 before I got my
  hard drive?)

Also, I've noticed what seems to be a bug. I have some old games
(space quest 1) wherein the executable is protected as hsap--e- or
something. Note the lack of read access. In copying
it with the workbench, all went well but I think the protections changed.
In copying it with the copy command, all seemed to go well but I got a
file of the right size filled with zeros.  However, copying it with
the workbench allowed me to put it on my hard drive, so it isn't really
a problem for me. I was just suprised that it copied the right number
of bytes but wound up as all zeros.       -- Darren
