Hi ;)
I was just wondering, would it be possible for copyover code to be successfully used in Cygwin? Since Windows doesn't let you modify/overwrite 'rom.exe' while it's in use, is there any simple workaround that wouldn't make the file directory too messy? :x
And does anyone know if it's possible to rename the file while it's in use? I read it on the CircleMUD mailing list, just wondering if it's true.
If anyone has any info, please share it. I know I'm lazy for not just doing it manually... Thanks in advance | | Top |

| I think you can rename files in use if the file name length doesn't change. (eg. rom.exe to ram.exe)
You could try making the startup script make a second copy, and execute that. eg.
copy rom.exe rom_copy.exe
rom_copy

| | I used a copyover script by Erwin Andreasen that I found somewhere, though sadly I don't remember where. It automatically does what it needs to do and works great. If you're stumped about a copyoverscript you have, you mighht look into it. | | Top |
