381.0. "TWARP warning" by VINO::BHAMILTON (Buzz Hamilton) Tue Jan 24 1989 16:12

    Beware of TWARP from the January '89 STLOG.
    
    This program is designed to speed up floppy disk access by doing
    smart seeks. It does do this, but also causes the system to think
    the disk is full after about four minutes of disk inactivity.  This
    can be worked around by removing the diskette and pressing escape.
    However, a longish download to the buffer of the Intersect comm
    program was blown when suddenly the program said disk full when
    NO disk access had yet occured.  Other strange actvities going back
    to the GEM Desktop may also be caused by TWARP.  This thing was
    written by the revered David Small and Dan Moore.
