I have run into some problems as i tried to copy files to a Harddisk.
I had 2 SH205-Harddisks connected to my Mega ST4 and tried to copy a (german)
TeX-Distribution from one Harddisk to the other. The fonts are located in a
couple of subdirectories all named 'PXLnnnn', where 'nnnn' stands for a four
digit number. I tried to copy the directories by opening two windows,
selecting 4 directories and pulling them in the other window. For the first
2 or 3 directories all works well, but then suddenly the name of one of the
directories will change! The 'X' of 'PXLnnnn' will turn in the Sqare-Root-
Symbol or in a superscript '3'.

I had *no* accessories installed, there was no folder-limit (4 meg is enough
to run FOLDER999.PRG to get 999 extra folder slots...). The second controller
was switched to unit 1, so there were no hardware interferences.
If i copy the whole thing from floppies to harddisk, this problem never occurs.

I remember hearing something about a bug in TOS relating to this problem
a long time ago. Can anyone give me some further help or a workaround ?
