I don't have the os3.5 dev cd, but noticed a similar (mebby) problem
with Photogenics. After a lot of head scratching and repeated resets,
I finally found my problem. It seems that some of the files (I think
the ones with large names...) lost their read protection bit when
copied. (The only protection bit set was delete...) Check to see that
all the protection bits are set correctly, or just do a mass of
"protect #? rwed" then "protect #?#/?" rwed and keep adding "#?/"s to
the beginning of the filespec there until you reach the full depth of
the directory tree.

(Imagine my head-scratching there... Hmmm... SnoopDOS keeps telling
me that it can't load this file. The file is there. Why the #$%@$#%
is the file not being read?!?!?)
