A year! That's not a System 7 bug, though most people think so. I saw it a while back on 6.0.3 or maybe 6.0.5. I was using Desktop Manager, so it does seem to be some kind of interaction with the code that does Desktop DB and Desktop DF, but it is *certainly* no S7 bug. (The last half of my System Folder, including "System", disappeared. The machine still booted just fine, though...) -- Christopher Davis <ckd@eff.org> | ECONOMIC OBSERVATIONS DEPARTMENT System Manager & Postmaster | "There's always something going out of Electronic Frontier Foundation | business in Central Square." +1 617 864 0665 NIC: [CKD1] | -Rita Marie Rouvalis <rita@eff.org>
