Upon first obtaining my Vulcan for my GS and attempting to back it up I ran into the problem that GSOS files wouldn't backup (resource forks?) I thought *IBM* stood for "I bought more"... but *NO*... I had to go and get another program to backup my newly acquired harddisk. Didn't bother me though. I got a great shell inwhich to operate as well as a GREAT backup program: ProSEL-16!!
