Hi Ned,

Thanks for the reply. I figured that this may be the case but wanted to
report it anyway.

I currently do not have access to a more up-to-date Mac OS but once I do I
will test and report anything unusual back. I also have not tested other
file systems but will most likely do that as well. Thanks again for your
time here.

Kenny
