I just purchased Activision's "Shanghai" after trying the demo they posted to the Net. It's an interesting game/solitare based on Maj-Jong tiles stacked in a pyramid. Unfortunately, backup of the disk is a problem. Copy II, Version 5.2, using Bit Copy, Keep Track Length and Synchronize Tracks options produces a disk copy which boots, shows the Startup Screen, shows the dragon and then boots again. It repeats this behavior until the paperclip is applied to the eject hole in the drive. Inspection with Mac Tools shows two files (1K each) with the same name (a string of boxes, which I assume indicates characters not in the font set). Mac Tools would not copy these to the target disk. Track 5 seems to be villanous, too. Any hints would be appreciated. Rob Lake decvax!cwruecmp!nitrex!rbl ihnp4!cbatt!nitrex!rbl DISCLAIMER: This has nothing to do with what I do for my employer.
