I have used Copy II HD for copying Word, Chart, and Multiplan  to an 800k
disk.  It works fine and I have used it extensively.  I must say though,
when I tried the same thing with Jazz I got a rather strange system error.
After I read the original and started to write to the 800k I got a box with
a > for a cursor.  anything I typed here appeared on the screen.  But 
nothing else would budge.  No command-shift-1, no quit, zip.  Hmmmm.
