Lines: 58 Hi, I used to be a beta tester for Central Point software. I was involved, quite extensively, in the beta testing associated with release 9.1 of COPYIIPLUS for the Apple II. I reported several difficulties with the program which apparently no one else in the world seems to be having, so I thought I would mention them here to see if anyone else is having them. 1. When copying files from sub-directory to sub-directory on my hard drive (a 10 meg ProFile), the program apparently had pointer problems because a 10 block file ended up being about three or four blocks. This happened consistently when copying from SD to SD. 2. Backing up such software as Bank Street Writer Plus and Crossword Magic was not possible i.e the copies did or do not work. 3. The program seems to have some difficulty dealing with 3.5 " disks and doesn't seem to know when disks are write protected and copies files anyway. The people at Central Point are, as far as they have been telling me, totally unaware of anyone else having these problems. If you are experiencing problems like these I would really appreciate hearing about it. Actually, better still, I would appreciate your letting Central Point know about it at the following address: Michelle Ballew Central Point Software Inc. 9700 SW Capitol Hwy. Portland, Or. 97219 (503) 690-8088 THANKS VERY MUCH.
