Well, two other respondents reported no trouble like this.  So I
reloaded systems and found that GOFER did indeed work on my internal
(QUANTUM 80) disk and on one of two other hard disks out on the SCSI
bus -- but it fails on my main external ALLIANCE disk.  Any theories?
I asked Microlytics (mfgr of GOFER) but they had not heard of this
bug.  (The program itself is running on that disk, which is my normal
boot disk.)
