[Coco] 'arc' copy command and Stack Overflow (ERROR #207)

[Bill Pierce]

Allen, I use 'arc' every day. I copy full 120mg vhds back and forth with no problems.
My crc is definately different, it's $B12074
I don't know if it's later, but it's not the same. The only problem I've run into is if it hits a file with the 'share' bit set. It will come to a halt if it does. Also, it dilikes directories starting with numbers. Doesn't os9 advise against this? Example 'NITROS9/6309L2/MODULES'. It doesn't stop, but copies no further than the 6309L2, and moves to the next tree.
I pulled this file from my old floppies as I couldn't find it anywhere in any of the archives when I started pulling out my old Coco stuff a few years ago. Fom trying to disassemble it to fix the above problems, I found it was written in C. I have also found (since then), what I beleive is the source in the OS9UG disks. If it is the same, it's a Carl Kreider program.
It's on my "Favorite OS9 Utilities" disk here (along with a few other gems you may like):

I seem to have more files than the excellent 'arc' copy utility can handle. My 
arc is Edition #2 (CRC $CFA2A1). Is there a later version or did I just hit a 
wall?

Strange, since I would have used ARC to copy all of this to the old Compact 
Flash card. Maybe I ran in to this and had to do it in sections.
