Hi,
Usually the disk speeds are slow so I would suggest that instead of writing
character by character why don't you try to read and write in chunks if you
can do that. The reason why installation is slow on your system is that each
time you want to access your disks it takes time to access it. If you write
in chunks where the number of times you have to access the data is
drastically reduced you shouldn't have any problem at all.
Hope that helps.
Vijay

Subject: <lingo-l> File Copying
Hi all
For a few month i've try to make an progressbar with
my own style for filecopying in an installer project
and i have problem with large files because during
copying i cant understand how much data is copied and
i cant update the progressbar and after copying is
finished the progressbar suddenly increased.(i know
the copyprogress Xtra but i want to make my own
progressbar with my own shape)
Finally i decide to write a filecopy script and i use
fileio xtra to read from first file and write data to
another file it's worked and progressbar work
correctly but the copying speed is too slow.
i read and write character one by one then i try to
read a string from file and write it to new file but
it doesnt work.
anybody know how can i make the copying faster.
thanks
Iman . M
