copying directories (amazing next)

If this is a hint at TRDN, then all names in it are generally ignored - they are secondary. Only the serial numbers of files and directories are taken into account, and their names are assigned after everything has been copied. So in theory everything should copy as needed. Stanislav

It's not about names. In TR-DOS, a name is actually a number. The point is that you a list of copied files is compiled before copying, and on the PC gradually replenished during the copying process. Therefore, the list may already include copied files and thus file reproduction occurs. If you after each copied file, I read the next file number from the directory to be copied. I would have stepped on this rake too. This is easy in TR-DOS build a list of files, there are no more than 128 of them in total. It's better on PC it turns out to recursively read directories during the copying process if in directory, a file is added, it is copied a second time.
