Don't > know if this has been fixed in the latest 6.0 release. I though disk-to-disk copies whose capacities are the same become sector copies. At least that's what happens now (Finder under System 6.0.2). If that was a problem, then it appears to have been fixed. When you disk-to-disk copy to a disk of different capacity, then a file- copy is done. I don't know if it also copies the files on the desktop, but I suppose it is (sort of) correct, from a user-interface point of view, to copy those files that are only in the disk window, not on the desktop. > >>> Internet: yahnke@macc.wisc.edu <<< > >>> Mille voix chuchottent <<c'est vrai>> <<< -Justin vallon@sbcs.sunysb.edu
