- A few months ago, I reported some trouble here with The Fred Fish
- Collection CDROM version 1.5 by Hypermedia Concepts. My filesystem software
- could not read the directory
-
- FFCD_700:FF_DISKS/571-600/FF_576/TERMII/FRANCAIS
- '
-
- The problem has now been diagnosed. Apparently, Hypermedia used a
- beta version of the CDROM mastering software which had a bug in
- handling international characters (the "C" in "FRANCAIS"). The name
- was stored normally in the directory file, but as "FRAN^AIS" in the
- PathTAble, and as "FRANGAIS.INFO" in the icon. Bizarre!
-
- I assume that the problem will be fixed in a later version of
- the disc, since Hypermedia updates it 3 times per year.
