- Interesting experience I had today (I'm way too busy to follow up on
- it):
-
- I created a document with Teach on my GS, and saved to an 800K mac
- disk. The mac disk had three folders on it, each with several files
- inside. I decided I didn't need these folders (or the files inside)
- and threw them out (finder, on my GS). I was curious if a) the files
- would delete, and b) the disk would still be readable on a Mac. When
- I attempted to throw out all of the folders at one time, the computer
- hung. No problem if I did one folder at a time.
-
- I am NOT reporting this as a bug. I did NO experimentation with my
- setup, and did not even try to replicate the problem. I am merely
- reporting it as an interesting occurence.
-
- BTW, Mac teach documents are NOT the same as those created on the GS.
- After saving my document (on my GS) as a text file, and then loading
- it into AWGS, and saving it as an AWGS word processor file, I was able
- to load it into MWII. Of course, MWII doesn't save in AWGS format, so
- I have to save in MW5.0 format, and then read it in with Teach (on my
- GS), ad infinitum.....
-
- There must be a better way....
