When launched, TextEditor 1.2 is issuing a pbSetEOF with a value of zero on
the file with a refnum of 1. Normally, this is not a problem since a file
refnum of 1 is not used. However, when AppleShare Pro is running on the
AWS 95, an extended fcb pool is used and a file refnum of 1 is available.
In fact, the first file opened by an AFP client is assigned a file refnum
of 1. If a file with a file refnum of 1 is open on the AWS 95 with write
permissions, when TextEditor 1.2 is launched, the data fork of that file
will be set to zero bytes in length. This would not be a problem if the
data fork of that file is not used.
TextEditor 1.3a1 fixes this problem and is available on AppleLink. This
new version will be included in the next release of the AWS 95 software.
Please replace all copies of TextEditor on AWS 95 systems with this
version.
TextEditor 1.3a1 is also available on Apple SW Updates areas on the Internet, CompuServe and America Online:
America Online - keyword: applecomputer

Anyone that has an AWS 95 should not use TextEditor 1.2 while AppleShare is
running. They should use TextEditor 1.3a1.
