In the base note, Nik Zapantis asks if there's any known incompatability
between Uniterm and the hard disk under Magic Sac.
   I don't believe there is; without further details, it's hard to know for
certain. The only bugs I know of that have been reported in the hard disk
implementation are that a) Finder/Systems above 5.4/3.2 should not be used
(possible disk damage report), and b) filenames longer than 21 characters
cause problems under an HFS hard disk, and can damage the directory
structure.
   In short, I would think at first glance the problem isn't Uniterm,
but rather a long filename or too recent a Finder/System. However, murphy's
law always applies, especially at dP.
  Thanks, Dave Small / dP etc / My opinions are my opinions.
