Yes.  The problem is in the file conversion program.  It will not deal
correctly with files over 32767 bytes in length.  I believe this is because
DOS 3.3 is not supposed to deal with these large files, but yet it can.

A fix?  Use something else. No really! Copy II Plus (6.5 or later) works
great with both OS's.  If you have a //c you might try the //c System
Utilities disk that came with it, or can be gotten at an Apple dealer.
