A while back, I upgraded my copy of Copy II Mac to version 7.1 because I was
told that this version was Mac II and Multifinder compatible.  You can imagine
my dismay when I found that I couldn't get it to work even if I ran in 2-color
mode without Multifinder.  After talking with others here that were using
Copy II Mac without difficulty, I did some detective work and discovered two
separate sources to me problems:
1. Our network people had installed an INIT named Register Name on all our 
   systems to aid in diagnosing Localtalk problems.  (Register Name is from
   Farallon, the Phonenet people.)  Register Name has proved to be guaranteed
   death to Copy II Mac 7.1.
2. If I mount an Appleshare server (using version 1.0 of the client software),
   this is also guaranteed death for subsequent use of Copy II Mac, even if I
   dismount the server before running Copy II Mac!
Has anyone else seen this problem or does anyone have any further insights?
