I am running Spectre GCR 2.65. I have a hard disc with four ST partitions
and two Mac HFS partitions. When I use the Transverter program to move a file
from an ST partition to a Mac floppy (MFS format), a part of the file gets
lost.

The files I am moving are PostScript files of about 100K in size.
Typically, I lose a few hundred bytes in one lump, somewhere in the middle
of the file. I get no warnings or messages; the first I notice is that the
printer doesn't understand the PostScript. It seems to happen nearly every
time. I've had to switch to a different method of getting my files to the
printer. Can anyone suggest what is going wrong?

Some more info: my floppy drive seems to behave itself most of the time.
Occasionally, I get a Mac floppy corrupted and when I try to read it on a
real Mac, it complains the disc is unreadable. Might be linked, might not.	
I sent off for Spectre 3.0 a few weeks ago. Might this help when I get it?
