- Subject: Problems with MSH: and subdirectories
- Lines: 20
-
- I've noticed recently when using MSH (version 1.3) that occasionally an
- attempt to write to a subdirectory on an MSH disk will trash the disk.
-
- I've been getting this a lot recently, as I exchange floppies between
- IBM and Amiga systems and use 'copy df0: msh: all' a lot. If there are
- subdirectories with files in 'em on the source disk, it will almost
- always trash the MSH: disk.
-
- Has anyone else seen this problem? Can anyone recommend a work-around?
-
- I'm trying to put together a program to flatten directories so that all
- files can be put on the root of the MSH disk, but MSH disks only permit
- 112 files on the root.
