Tried copy again and this time it worked - including wildcards. I've been running TCL for a week and maybe it did something it shouldn't have. Still had trouble with the move command; it comes back [Insufficient disk space in destination path] I have 30 gigs of freespace. I have 2 gigs used out of

Hi Dale, > I have 30 gigs of freespace. I have 2 gigs used out of 32 gigs. Only FAT32 aware software will be able to notice when you have more than 2 GB of free disk space ;-) Would be interesting to know which software already has support and which not. What did you use to check for free disk

I don't know if I still have the file; since it didn't work I may have erased it. I probablely did. Do you know what msg 1.6 is? It keeps asking for it. If I had it then it might work. TK is the only interesting part of TCL. I wonder if TCL/TK is related to TK solver. cheers DS On Tue, 12 Nov 2
