Daa, didn't even think of that.

See my other message,



I really want to give up on Win95 and get right into OS/2. but when I exactly

I dont know.





On the previous reformats W95 was to blame. The file index some how stuffs up.

If you, say, backup someone elses drive onto yours. (If you copy a dir full
of lots of

sub dirs (say 800 meg) onto your drive) It some times mirrors every file & dir

in more dirs of the same names under the original subdir's.

I have seen it up to 10 mirrors, Now if you try to leave the original, but

delete one lot of the others, then you find that you have actually deleted the

originals (upon rebooting or defraging)



This is a bug that Paul Edwards should document. W95 will keep him very busy.
