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.. slb@BNL
