Problem

Symptoms: The customer gets the message "Error: Unable To Close File" while copying files to a 3.5" high density diskette from List Files. After the error appears, the copying process continues. After a little bit, the error changes to "Error: Unable To Create File". Solutions: The customer stopped the saving loop, and WP 5.1 DOS returned a "Copied 224 Files Out XXX" message. The customer was copying to the root directory of the diskette. No more than 224 files and directories can be placed in the root directory of this type of diskette. The customer created a subdirectory on a new diskette and copied all of the files to the new subdirectory. The problem did not recur.
