My Pop connection was down for a few days and I could not download my messages. Because of this I had to rely on my faulty memory. For those of you who may have noticed my faulty grammar and spelling in my last couple of posts, that is also the reason. (When I work in real time, I make make more mistakes than I like). 1. Moving 800k Mac Files onto 1.44 meg Macdisks. The easiest thing that I have found when working on a real Mac is to preformat the Macdisks to 1.44. Insert the 1.44 meg disk and eject it with a (Special-E). Then insert the 800k mac disk. Drag the icon of the 800k disk over the 1.44 meg disk. All the files will be transferred as will the file name. Mactools fastcopy program can also copy beteween densities. 2. Kinko's Public Machines. Kinko's public Macs are equipped with a program known as "Desk Tracy" which is designed to stop people from pirating Kinko's software from the harddisk. The problem is that when you are copying files between your own disks the program will still tiger if the file has a namesake on the Kinko's machine. What you will need to do is get a Kinko's employee to shut the program off, which is obviously a discretionary call with them. I didn't have a problem and have done it twice, but we obviously will be using different Kinko's. ------------------------------------------------------------ | Stuart G.
