- This is a reply to your diskdup message and an earlier message I believe
- that you posted regarding use of Kinko's Public Macs. 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.
