Re: [B2-devel] Sheepshaver - File Access outside the virtual volume

[Kevin J. <kev...@hi...>]

I think that may have been unclear. When I say, "only partial lists  
are being produced", I mean that when the Virtual Classic is asked to  
draw a Finder window depicting the contents of a directory on the  
unix 'volume', it only draws a partial list of the actual contents.  
It omits items, or "doesn't see" them.
