I have recently upgraded 1.3 -> 1.5.10.
All patching was done on our ULTRIX machine. I then tar'ed and
compressed all directories. Now my commands.tar.Z file is 1.24 Mbytes
big. 
I have made a file system of size 1450 blocks on a 1.44Mbyte disk, but
when I mount it and say

      cp commands.tar.Z /mnt3

I get the following error message :

cp : error 0

Anybody have any idea ??? The file is certainly smaller than the file system
size... (or so it seems...)
