Quite so. I'd got in a bit of a jam with lack of disk headroom, and had just bought a new firewire hard drive to back up to. I wanted to just copy the contents of my hard drives to it and be done, but I kept getting errors saying this and that file couldn't be copied for this and that reason (permissions, illegal filenames etc) so I started "tidying up". Too late at night. Phew! All's well that ends well though. D. -- Dougie Carnall +44 (0) 7900 212 881 http://navarino.org.uk:8080/blog
