It does NOT copy resource files and it isn't clear if it ever
will. The best way to assure that it does is to make your concerns
known to Central Point Software.

What it does do is give you a ProDOS error $4? (A/B I think). The
funny part is that just before the error number comes on the
screen, the phrase "Resource File" is there for an instant. I
asked them why they couldn't give the phrase and error
number. Don't know if they implemented it.

The good news about all this is that Copy ][+ 9.0 won't screw up a
resource file by trying to copy it. And because resource files are
showing up in more and more places, that is something to worry
about with your older versions of your copy programs.
