[DUG]: Copying Files

[Colin Dillicar]

Hi all,     I just got around to modifying my app this morning and now have a progress bar doing what it should. Being a Borland pascal programmer since BP/2 days I chose to use Steve Peacocke's solution as follows :-     1. Use a TAnimate component to simply give feedback that the files is being copied.  --  Works but not very elegant   2. Use BlockRead and BlockWrite to handle the file copy yourself. Back to the bad old days where we used to have to do everything by hand - back when us programmers used to live [cockney voice] "in't paper bag in't middle of road, 'n we had to lick road for breakfast each morning before work"   Chose option 2 and not only find that it works (hardly a surprise) but that it works much faster as well.   One tends to forget the good old days.     Thanks for all your suggestions   Cheers             Colin
