Your problem is simple: timing.

I haven't had time to do a new version yet.

TOS 1.4 reverses the significance of the Archive bit from the prior
TOS versions. Turtle has to be modified to deal with the Archive bit
properly, for whatever version of TOS you are running. It will be as
soon as I get past a few other, higher priority items.

Meanwhile, there is a more frequently occurring problem dealing with
directory create failures in the RAMdisk, which I've been trying to
re-create. When I can get that to occur reliably, I can deal with
it and the archive bit.

Both problems, however, take a back seat to the current work on the
Virus Killer. Which, in turn, is slightly behind an even more critical
hard disk failure problem.

If anyone has a few 300 day weeks they can spare, I could use them. :^).
Working for a living sure cuts into my day.
