- Probably. Let me rewrite your question, into something more generic:
-
- "With multi-tasking systems, it seems entirely possible that at some point the
- system will crash while the filesystem is saving the file to the harddisk. Is
- the program simply lost?"
-
- The answer is: YES. I have been in this situation, and I know the already
- existing Amiga filesystem handle it no better way than Stacker (probably)
- would be able to deal with it.

- It's not that unusual to get a validation error on an AmigaDOS partition after
- the above situation has occured. So, probably: Sometimes, depending on where
- the machine was rebooted, in relation to the writing process.
