You know what one of the "best" TOPS features is? Mount a volume
published on a PC with TOPS. Use option-copy to copy only the text
contents of a file from the PC to your Mac. Your mileage may vary, but
in my situation (PC TOPS -> localtalk -> bridge -> thin ethernet ->
mac) there is about a 50% chance that the file will be corrupted, with
garbage characters and random stuff from the Mac's memory inserted
somewhere in the middle. (I.e. TOPS warning messages, pieces of
previously read files that must have been sitting in the disk cache,
etc. It's truly amazing what shows up.)
