I just mentioned (in private mail) the analagous situation under Unix. 1. Edit a file in directory A 2. Put the editor asleep with control-Z. 3. Move the file from directory A to directory B. 4. Wake the editor back up. 5. Write the file from the editor. It recreates the file in directory A, since it had no knowledge that the user moved the file to directory B while it was asleep. This is not necessarily a bug. -- Sig DS.L ('ZBen') ; Ben Cranston* Computer Science Center Network Infrastructures Group * University of Maryland at College Park
