What would be thge consequences of replacing this rename call with a copy, followed by a delete? Seems like it would be safer, with only a minor performance hit on something that only happens at upgrade anyway. lso, unless I totally missed something, this revision looks like it just adds error handling for this situation without actually fixing it. Does this actually make vikings playable for you? Or does it just show a coherent error message before it fails? --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
