- I just downloaded Jon Pugh's Hypercard stack & external
- command CopyFile from FTP.APPLE.COM It seems to work
- well with files that exist on different volumes. For
- example from disk to hard drive or from network server
- to local hard drive. I'm having problems with getting it
- work between folders on a local hard drive and getting
- it to recognize a RAM Disk as file volume. When I use
- the plain copyfile command from the message box and use
- copyfile's built in SFdialog I can see the RAM disk as
- another volume and the command appears to execute, but
- when I check the contents of the RAM disk, the file does
- not appear to be copied. Does anyone know of any
- Hypercard externals that can copy to the RAM disk, and
- if so where can I find them.
-
- P.S. I have tried copying to Apple's Proprietary RAM
- Disk that comes with system 7.0.1 and shareware RAM Disk
- applications like AppDisk.
-
- Thanks in advance your advice, experiences, or input.
