   Unfortunatley Commodore may want to say the the inherent problem
of the 'save and replace' is only a rumor..but I must differ with them.

   When I first recieved my C-64 and 1541 about 2 years ago I can speak from
experiance of having problems with the option.  During a school science
fair I demonstarted a learning program that I had writen.  The program
used the 'save and replace' option to save a high score file...

  During a mishap (In which someone tripped over the power cord) I went to
reload the program and lowe and behold I GOT THE SEQUENTIAL SCORE FILE?!?!?
(interesting) I then examined the header again and tried to relaod but
no luck.

   From this I would advise users to avoid that function whenever possible..
