Handling Copy Errors
An editor for a trade magazine routinely
copied and moved a number for documents around as they were being
readied for publication each month.
Frequently though, Windows
Explorer would abort the whole copy process because one
file was in use or had been left locked by another
program.
The editor now uses FileBoss
for all his copying as FileBoss' Advanced Copy Engine
does not cancel a copy process just because one file is
in use and FileBoss even gives the Editor a chance to
retry copying a file after he has corrected problem.
