Bernard Chicago, IL 60618 This is probably easier than meeting at some prearranged place, although that would work fine as well. I'm glad to receive these utils from you and of course any help I can offer you in the form of constructive criticism will be gladly given. If there's anything else I can do for you, just holler! -Thanks! Msg 43729 is 09 line(s) on 06/24/90 from PHIL SCHUMAN to ALL re: COPY '*' PROB ?? I think I have found a bug with the COPY command under DOS 3.3x. We have several daily files called FILxx.DAY that we copy into a weekly file called WEEK.DAY. The command is COPY FIL*.DAY WEEK.DAY The file content has nothing to do with the bug - as we can duplicate the probelm but just copying more than 2 of any text type files. Anyway - all the files are listed as the COPY command executes. However, ONLY the 1st two files are actually copied to the output file. I have tested this on Compaq DOS 3.31 and Toshiba (laptop) DOS 3.30 The killer is - it works just fine on DOS 3.10. Msg 43730 is 10 line(s) on 06/25/90 from ALEX ZELL to CHARLIE KESTNER re: R/R/FEMINIST BBS In 43718 you ask if I think the operator of the Feminist BBS would like you and jcs and others to call. Of course she would, as long as they observed reasonable guidelines for intelligent discourse. If you are asking if the usual crapola and drift masquerading as humor which some of the people you mention employ to derail conversational threads on chinet is acceptable - well, I doubt that would be welcomed by any of the users. If you are asking about social/philosophical/political viewpoints, the users (and sometimes combatants) on Feminist BBS are as diverse as they are on chinet.

IT WORKS OKAY, BUT I SOMETIMES GET THE MESSAGE ON SCREEN: "non-system or disk error-hit any key when ready." WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY DRIVE GOES TOTALLY SILENT ON ME (ALL I COULD HEAR WOULD BE THE COOLING FAN). IF I TRY TO DO A WARM REBOOT, I WOULD GET A 1701-20 ERROR MESSAGE. IF I SHUT OFF THE COMPUTER AND WAIT 15 SECONDS BEFORE POWERING UP, THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. MY QUESTION IS: IS THIS NORMAL, OR DO I HAVE ANY REASON TO WORRY? dup. chars. >Function:?
