Has anyone else run into a problem with WordPerfect on the GS losing
files, in a strange way?  Did some editing and wrote out the changed
file as a new file under a different name from the old one.  (The old
one was named AB, the new one AB.1) Came back next day to continue and
found that only about half of the file was there, and the end was badly
garbled (@ signs and other funny marks.)  Re-did what I had done before,
saving it as AB.1.  Did some more, and saved that as AB.2.  Then tried
to see what I had:  both AB.1 and AB.2 have the same information in
them, and are identical to the original AB.  The directory shows the
correct update times, and shows all three of different lengths.  I am
using THE most recent version of WordPerfect (release 1.1, version H,
just sent to me) which was supposed to correct some bugs in the earlier
versions.  The WordPerfect people say they are having no problems.  The
full pathname of the files involved is rather short, so it can't be that
that has something to with it.  (e.g., /xyzw.2/pqr87/ab) The only other
relevant thing might be that I used the Beagle Bros copy verb to move
WordPerfect into RAM before running.
