I just received CopyIIPlus v. 9.1 in the mail.  I used to be a beta tester for
Central Point Software up until about a year ago.  I was involved in the 
enitial testing of the program for the version 9 series.  At that time I 
reported that the program had difficulties copying files from within 
subdirectories on my hard disk into other subdirectories on the hard disk.
Very simply for files of size larger than 10 blocks the program scrapped
from one to n blocks leaving the file with from one to ten blocks.  (I
hope that made snese.  Basicly the pointers used in the copy procedure
appear to be getting messed up so the program is copying the entire file
onto itself as opposed to appending subsequent portions.)

Anyway, I got the new version today (actually it isn't a new version) and 
tried my standard subdirectory test:

1.  I created five new subdirectories on my hard drive as follows:

    ONE ----- TWO ------ THREE ------ FOUR

    FIVE

2.  I copied several files into SD Four with CIIP v 8.3 and one file
    into SD Three.

3.  I told the program to copy all files in SD Two into SD Five.

4.  Version 8.3 performed all of the above correctly.

5.  I scrapped all the subdirectories and repeated the complete procedure
    with version 9.1.

RESULTS

1.   Version 9.1 didn't even copy the files from other subdirectories
     into SD's three and four.

2.   By the time it got around to copying SD Three and Four into SD Five the
     largest file in the bunch was 10 blocks with several 1 and 2 block files
     where 50 and 60 block files once had been.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN COMPUTER LAND (sorry about the free advertising) who
is experiencing this type of difficulty?  Please email me if you are.

I am interested in anyone who has had this problem, but specifically //e 
users.

Thanks very much for your responses in advance.
