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
