Hello Listers,

Could someone answer this for me please, I have written a script to rename a
logfile (text file). I have used the rename function - but the documentation
warns of issues depending on OS patform and then links to Win32:Copyfile and
mentions having to unlink yourself.
This is all fine, I can probably go this route without any serious problems,
however I still don't know - why?
What happens to a file when you use rename? Is it corrupted?
All my tests with rename have not corrupted the logfile yet.
