On the root of dh0: I had a Dino directory for Designasaraus and my WP directory for Word Perfect. My daughter came up and said that the dino drawer was gone so she couldn't play, I went snooping and found it had moved into the WP directory. I restored everything and kind of wondered what happened. A few days later I was cleaning up my directory on dh1: and I clicked on a file icon and it vanished. I looked around and found it up a level. This was too weird so I got out the old backup program and made sure everything was securely on floppy disks in case another incident like this occured. Just in case it matters, I have an A500 with a GVP 30 Meg hard drive attached, 1 Meg RAM only. I am running WB 1.3 and FFS on the had drive. I don't know if it is a hardware specific thing or something in FFS, what types of setups do others have that have seen this problem? Tim Harris
