Okeydoke, I've put up with this 00 trashing for several months now;
and I've been on CIS, THE SOURCE, GEnie, and several nationwide Apple
BBS. Nowhere do I find a hint of a message from an Apple rep about
what the new ProDOS witll do to sector 00 on your disk!
I'm furious!  I've had 3+ disks of informaton trashed already because
of Apple's negligence - how can they dare to put out a ProDOS program
that will inadvertently (that is, whenever it feels like it - no cause,
no alarm, no warning to the user) trash the catalog on a ProDOS disk!!!
I've spent 4+ weeks working on these disks; the first two times it
happened to me, I said to myself, okay, you must backup your information.
I did that.  Apple ProDOS v1.4 even when patched, still continues to
trash secto r 00 on my disks.  It doesn't matter what communications
program I use - if I format the disks using ProDOS v.(the newest version
and patched) I still will, without warning, have my entire disk of
information trashed!
