Phil & Andu,
Thanks for the suggestion - great minds think alike eh!
Unfortunately, the proposed solution works fine for all the files
except "mc.exe". With this I just end up with a zero length file as
Windows reports the file as "in use" and refuses to copy its
contents! Any further suggestions to get round this one?
If I get a workable solution, I'll offer it up to the MC list as it's
potentially a neat and simple way of providing Windows installers
without needing to buy and use general purpose installers.
Thanks again,
Peter
