I've got a couple of quick questions about MusicWorks. It's a fabulous program,
but I'm very nervous about running it from my original disk (since my 2-year-old
loves to play with it and might clobber it accidentally). Attempts to back
it up using a block copier give no complaints from the copier, but the copy
tends to bomb out. There are a couple of invisible files that seem to be
the offending party. Somebody on CompuServe suggested that if I get rid of
them on the copy, things will be fine. Is that true? Any other suggestions?
Meanwhile, I'm running using the write-protect tab on the master disk, with my
fingers crossed....
Second question: what language was MusicWorks developed in? Some of the
features/limitations of the program suggest FORTH to me ... does anybody have
any evidence?
Many thanks - Z
