Large Mac files: a question
This is not an executor issue, per se. But, it's closely enough related
that I thought I would ask y'all (sorry for the potentially wasted
bandwidth)
I have a NeXTCube running NS3.2, and an external PLI SuperFloppy (2.8).
I find that if I write large (larger than 100 or 200K, say), I will be
unable to read the file, usually, on a Macintosh.
That is, I write a 600K file to the Mac disk (using either HFS_XFER or
in the NeXTSTEP workspace manager), take it into my Quadra 950 at work,
I'll then get a 'disk error' error message from the Mac when I try to
read about the files (this seems to happen about 80% of the time)
Have any of you seen this before? Is this a standard 'feature' of the
NeXT machines with Mac files?
Thanks for any comments.

p.s. Yes, it does seem to work fine with smaller files.
