It doesn't rename files - it's functionality is limited to moving files from one directory to another. I put supreme importance on preserving data when I was writing it. If the disk fills up, the user specifies an incorrect path, etc, the source files will not be deleted. Only if everything goes correctly will the source files be deleted. Consider this thing ResumeWare. It's totally free of charge, I retain the copyright, and the source code (for now), but maybe somebody will give me a job when I graduate 12/91 or so. :-) It's available from me in uuencoded format. Just E-mail me, and I'll send it back to you. If you don't hear from me in 2-3 days, assume that my mail server choked on your address. If you've got another address, e-mail me again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Draper "College is supposed to prepare you for the future, cps.msu.edu but all my future's behind me." draper@cps.msu.edu -- My GrandPa, age 85, Fall 1990 graduate of Western Michigan University ------------------------------------------------------------------------
