Thanks very much Scott -- that seems to work. Sorry I missed the previous
discussion.
Another question related to drives... Is there any way to check the
available disk space of a volume? Apparently when MC writes a file to a
volume where this is not enough disk space, it generates a small file and
the result returned is empty, as if the write was successful. If there is
no test for available disk space, is there another way to prevent writing a
file when insufficient space is available?
As always, many thanks.
Scott
