Since some hours I am wondering about a phenomena which I can not declare
and which I cannot repeat. I got a nice cd with two .mov files and a
complete windows program to let them play. As I am really windows free I
played them with a shareware program quickview which BTW I may register.
Looking at the mov files I found them to have identical names and copying
them with norton confirmed that. The small one could not be copied.
�cleaned mov� 30686�4-14-98�11:41a�
�cleaned mov� 50631318�4-14-98�11:41a�
The strange thing is that one of them is small and the other rather big.
Looking further on the cd I found also other files with a double name.
On the root I found following files.
�autorun inf� 27� 2-24-98� 3:21p�
�autorun inf� 332� 2-24-98� 3:21p�
�readme txt� 332� 2-26-98� 3:55p�
�readme txt� 1415� 2-26-98� 3:55p�
�start exe� 1780952� 4-14-98�10:35a�
Because they where somewhat smaller as the .mov files I played around with
these files. Copying these five files (1783058 bytes - its a winblows file
;-)) I got only three files copied on my harddisk. (1782394 bytes only).
When I choose all five files to copy I was asked wit both duplicates if I
wanted to overwrite the file because it was already copied. When I choose
only three files to copy (it did not matter which of the duplicates I
requested) both 332 bytes big files would not be copied. Also if I only
requested one file it did not matter which of the files I choose, the 332
big file could not be reproduced. How did they manage to let my system see
ghost files? Somebody with an idea?
