We have several Macintosh computers with System 7.5, and a Hewlett Packard (HP) 9000 with HP-UX 9.04 running the Columbia AppleTalk Program (CAP) 6.0 pl 192, and UAR (Unix AppleTalk Router) 1.0 as a file server. With SimpleText open if I save a file to a CAP volume (a volume on the Unix file server) the save appears OK (no error reported), but the file does not get saved. It's not visible from either a Macintosh on the network or from within UNIX.

We have tried a variety of versions of SimpleText -- those that come with Mac OS 7.1, 7.5 (SimpleText 1.1.1), and 7.5.1 (SimpleText 1.2). They all exhibit the same problem.

The only application that seems to have this problem is SimpleText. ClarisWorks saves on CAP volumes, and if we save a file from SimpleText onto the local hard drive, then use the Finder to copy it to the CAP volume, that works too. Is there an incompatibility problem between SimpleText and CAP?
