Diskdup



This is a reply to your diskdup message and an earlier message I believe
that you posted regarding use of Kinko's Public Macs.  My Pop connection was
down for a few days and I could not download my messages.  Because of this I
had to rely on my faulty memory.  For those of you who may have noticed my
faulty grammar and spelling in my last couple of posts, that is also the
reason.  (When I work in real time, I make make more  mistakes than I like).

1.      Moving 800k Mac Files onto 1.44 meg Macdisks.  The easiest thing
that I have found when working on a real Mac is to preformat the Macdisks to
1.44.  Insert the 1.44 meg disk and eject it with a (Special-E).  Then
insert the 800k mac disk.  Drag the icon of the 800k disk over the 1.44 meg
disk.  All the files will be transferred as will the file name.  Mactools
fastcopy program can also copy beteween densities.

2.      Kinko's Public Machines.   Kinko's public Macs are equipped with a
program known as "Desk Tracy" which is designed to stop people from pirating
Kinko's software from the harddisk.  The problem is that when you are
copying files between your own disks the program will still tiger if the
file has a namesake on the Kinko's machine. What you will need to do is get
a Kinko's employee to shut the program off, which is obviously a
discretionary call with them.  I didn't have a problem and have done it
twice, but we obviously will be using different Kinko's.
