Good day, We are having a problem with corruption of mathematica notebooks as they are copied from Mac HD to floppy disk. This seems to be an intermitant problem and is very frustrating to our students. Any and ALL suggestions are welcom. Background Mac devices - Power Mac 7100/80's running Sytem 7.5.1 Mathematica version 2.2.2.1 from the HD Software also used MacPrefect 3.0 - used to prevent tampering with system file RevRdist 1.5d64 - used to update devices Problem as stated to me; 1. Students save notebook to mac hd 2. Close mathematica 3. Drag copy notebook to floppy 4. Double click file on floppy 5. Mathematica opens, file is corrupted. If open damaged file in text editor, data fork is empty. I have tried to reproduce this problem with no success. Waiting for response from security software vendor & will also contact Wolfram. If any one has seen this problem or as a suggestion, please contact me at nre+ at pitt.edu. I do not read this group regularly so direct response would be appreciated. Regards Nancy R. Evans
