And just how did you get two files with the same name in the same directory?
I've had it happen by having a crash while openning a file. The symptom was
that the file was linked under the wrong hash code.  The validator did
not detect this (thank god) so I could use a disk editor to simply
zero out the whole directory after copying what I needed out of it.
(delete #? did not find the file, because ExNext() would return it but
Delete() would look under the hash to find it.)  Try copying .in#? to 
another disk and see if it works and copies both .info files.  If not,
I would call it unfair to call it a "bug" in CygnesEd. -- Darren
