Getting the hang of it

Hi,
I'm using the following command to copy files in kix:

shell '%compsec% /e:1024 /c copy SOURCE DESTINATION'

and check @error for any errors.
The funny thing is that on win2k it works fine, and @error returns non-zero if SOURCE doesn't exist, but in win95 the value returned by @error is zero.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
V.F.

yeah.
more specificly, please read the manual and use kixtart's commands.
DoS is history.

code:
copy "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"

gives you just the same

I need to know which error occured - I'd like to ignore share violation, but to treat all other errors.
Dos copy returns different values for each error (for example 11 for share violation), but kix copy returns same value for all errors.

Thank you,
V.F.

Thank you,

What do you mean with sharing violation? If the file is on a share that the user cannot exist then 'File Not Found' is the correct error code for that file.

How can you attach the share so you can copy it in Win95 if the user is not authorized to use that share? Are you taking about file ownership here?

I know sort of thing for share violation.

anyway, that ain't error 11 at all.

By saying sharing violation, I mean that the file is in use by some application (like operating system), and copy tries to overwrite it.

In dos, in such cases error number 11 is returned, but in kix error value 2 is returned.

My problem is that kix copy returns 2 for other errors as well, like when source doesn't exist.

Thank you once again for your help,
V.F.

well, I can't get that error 11.

not sure as I run w2k not dos 6.22

anyway, you can try it. remove rights to write to destination and check the error.
it will be 5.

also, what version of kix you were using?
as far as I know, versions since 2.xx return correct errors.

I'm using kix 3.47.
This problem occurs in win95 only (in win2k it works fine).
Error 5 is for 'access denied', while error 11 is for 'sharing violation' - when the file is in use by the OS.
There are no NTFS permissions in win95, so I can't get error 5.

Thanks,
V.F.

ok, I have a suggestion.
I have no way of testing this on win95.

so I have a request for you.
I found multiple fixes to copy after 3.47, so could try with at least 3.62 or even 4.12

not sure about others, but as the situation is now, I may not help you more.

please return did it help.

Hi,

I tested it in ver 4.10, and now I get error 5 for both source that doesn't exist and sharing violation.

Thanks,
V.F.
