Folks,

     I recently downloaded a few diskcopying programs from a local BBS
and am having problems.

     I received Diskdupe (v1.0?), the trial version, but when I run it 
to copy a 3.5" to a 3.5" HD, it results in an "internal stack overflow:
system halted."  Can this problem be corrected?  Do I have a bum version?

     As if that weren't enough, I also tried an old version of Fastcopy.
It reads the first disk fine, but when it prompts me for the target disk,
the drive light stays on!  Not too healthy for disks.  Or drives, eh?

     Any help or comments or suggestions would be welcome.  Thanks.
