- It appears that one file under the MACOS filesystem didn't actually copy corectly but rather
- a pointer to the file was copied. I have had similar strange things happen moving carts around.
- The MACOS might have deemed it a Network connection and copied a pointer instead of the
- entire file with icon and atributes. Rebuilding the desktop with the cart installed fixed our
- missing icon and attribute problems.....What version of MACOS are you using? 7.0.1 was extremely
- buggy and lost icons alot in this manner. 7.1 fixed most of this.
