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.
