Ever since my twenty meg built in HD (I have an SE) has reached fifteen megs,
strange things have been happening.
	Strange thing #1: When running MSWD 3.01 off my HD (It costs a lot, but
it's worth it!), I've often gotten a "Cannot Open" file error when saving,
leaving my new file in limbo. This "Cannot Open" continues even if I return 
to the Finder and come back!
	Strange thing #2: When running SigmaEdit UNDER MSWD WHILE MSWD is
having its little fit, SigEdit gives me a Disk Error -42 when trying to
save a file. What is this???
	Strange thing #3: I've also encountered, once since the MSWD problem
began, a "Your disk needs minor repairs" dialog upon bootup. Of course, my
SE did the repairs itself, but what is this? Yes, I have tried wiping my
MSWD off the HD and making a brand-new backup onto the HD. By habit, I try
not to run things off floppies anymore.
So, what's the consensus?
