Well, Windows is certainly weird. But this described behavior is "impossible"; the action of copying doesn't *look* at the bytes as they go by at all. Files are a series of arbitrary bytes, and no file content is invalid. The filesystem is completely unaware of the internals of the file, what any of it means. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
