A problem has been found with TextEditor 1.2 and the AWS 95 that can cause a loss of data.

When launched, TextEditor 1.2 is issuing a pbSetEOF with a value of zero on the file with a refnum of 1.  Normally, this is not a problem since a file refnum of 1 is not used.  However, when AppleShare Pro is running on the AWS 95, an extended fcb pool is used and a file refnum of 1 is available.  In fact, the first file opened by an AFP client is assigned a file refnum of 1.  If a file with a file refnum of 1 is open on the AWS 95 with write permissions, when TextEditor 1.2 is launched, the data fork of that file will be set to zero bytes in length.  This would not be a problem if the data fork of that file is not used.

TextEditor 1.3a1 fixes this problem and is enclosed.  This new version will be included in the next release of the AWS 95 software.  Please replace all copies of TextEditor on AWS 95 systems with this version.  TextEditor 1.3a1 is also available via anonymous ftp from ftp.support.apple.com.  Here is the path:
