I just installed it last night and the "night" portion of it works fine
for me but I haven't tried the "killer" portion yet.  A friend of mine
tried out the "killer" portion and couldn't get that to work although
the "night" portion works for him as well.  You are probably missing a
byte or two somewhere in your copy.

A bug I found in "flexcopy" involves "scache" (I think).  When "scache"
(version 3) is installed and I copy from my ramdisk to a floppy, it returns
to the desktop and says that there are 0 bytes used in 0 items until I
pop the disk out and force a re-read.  Picky, I know, but I was a little
worried the first time.

Third, Moshe's uudecode.tos will not decode some files that will decode
with an older version I have that takes around 10000 times as long.  I
can't find anything in common with the files that won't decode.  One
good example is the group of four files that comprised the piano
utility (allowed editing of bits in the sound chip).

Does anybody know what Moshe does for a living?  This guy is incredible.
Lately I have been receiving about one useful program per day.  Is he
an artificial intelligence project like the old Rich Rosen program? :->

A heartfelt THANK-YOU Moshe, I'm sure, from all of us on the net.
