[Coco] os9 copy is not reporting an error

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Tonight I tried to copy a new os9boot file into an otherwise working 
disk.

Knowing that it must be contiguous, I first set the disks attribute 
for sas to $90.  The copy went nicely, but when I then checked the fd 
for the file preparatory to adjusting the data for DD.BT and DD.SIZ 
in LSN0, imagine my surprise when I found the file was split, the 
first allocation only being for $75 sectors, with the last $15 being 
2/3rds of the way to the inner track.

I've repeated this twice now, with the same result.  There is room 
farther into the disk for the whole file in one piece, so is there 
any way to "force" the issue and make copy behave as expected?
