- I've noticed this too... When you drag something over to the Trash,
- what A/UX does it move it to the Trash directory on the A/UX file
- system (assuming that you are trashing a file on the A/UX disk, as
- above)... It then deletes the original.
-
- I think what's happening is that we are seeing the results of the
- file system being sync'ed every 30 seconds. We time the drag and the
- exact time that a sync is done so the Trash is "undone" (if you can
- follow...)
