   I have been using Shrinkit 3.03 for a while when I noticed that when I
copy entire directories from my RAM disk to 3.5" part of the directory name
is chopped off (from the front) when the files within are copied generating
funny directories or possible errors (invalid pathnames ie: MY.DIR => .DIR)
It almost seems like the length of the path combined with the name of the 
first file in the directory determines how much of the directory name is lost.

   Thinking that this was strange enough, I checked out the older versions.
I discovered that the previous version I had (3.01) also did the same
thing to me.  For some reason I also had an even older backup of Shrinkit
(version 2.27 ?), but this one did NOT exhibit this behavior.

   I was wondering if anyone else has seen this happen themselves or if it
is due to my setup:  (Is Andy out there somewhere? ;-)

	Apple //c
	Prodos 8 v1.8
	Unidisk 3.5
	AE Z-RAM Ramdisk driver installed
	AE Clock driver installed

Thanks,
