Re: [MacPerl] MacPerl Zip drives bug?

[robinmcf@altern.org]

OK I glean from this that something else is causing the problem other than
the internal workings of MacPerl (at least this time it wasn't my scripting
tho' :)). I'll try jiggering about with the name anyway. Thanks to both
Bart and Paul.

Ok this is the output from the scriptlet :

No the drive and it's driver work, Norton on the other hand  won't work
with the Zip disk unless I buy a winX comp and then download their  Zip
prog :)

>Norton and >MacPerl ???)?
going by the precedence indicated by the brackets :) - negatory, no

No I only have Norton :(
