i sent the follwing msg a fortnight ago, but it might got lost in no man's
land... so here it is again:
hi
after a quick discussion on c.e.x it might by reasonable to raise the
following issue as a bug:
dired-do-copy fails when applied to a directory. the error message is:
Copy [-p] `c:\apache\ampersand' to `c:\apache\peter' failed:
(file-error Opening input file Permission denied
c:\_idx\spider\6.5\apache\ampersand)
strangely enough rename and delete both work fine, copying in ms windows
explorer works and dired-copying with an GNU emacs worked as well.
leooo
ps: maybe important: i have installed xemacs 21.4.10 natively but cywin is
on
the system present.
