Isn't the second method supposed to pass progress as the 5th argument?
Looks like it should. I don't think this it is used anywhere... Raghu.

Both do just the same. The second method just discards the progress parameter. But the comment says that the second method does write-progress reporting. Can someone help me understand how it does write-progress reporting while the first method doesn't, while both methods' bodies are just the same? Regards, Rajagopal N
