I also found out the hard way.
Now, I ALWAYS download to the default directory
(in my case c:\arachne\download) while on-line. And I don't try to move
anything until I am safe and stable off-line. Then I address each file
individually, save it to where I want it to go, CHECK THAT ITS THERE !!,
and only then delete it from the default download directory.
A little fail-safe routine would be one of those little enhancements
that separate the good progs from the great progs. :)
I am sure it can be written into the Arachne:save, a dgi or something like
that. Or a little .BAT routine ? Couldn't it, Glenn ?
