RE: TZF - CopyFile routine

What size counters does Topaz CopyFile use ??
How does it implement the copy from SRC to DST ?

The error you mention was common when working with lots of/large files in
the 16-bit world.
The op-sys/application 'lost count' of which block it had to read/write due
to buffer overrun.
( 70,000 is suspiciously a little larger than 64K = 16bit counter )

I am not sure if this is the answer - but worth investigating.

Does the same problem exist if you use the WIN32 API  CopyFile  ??

Subject: TZF - CopyFile routine


Hello,

Here's a Topaz question that doesn't have anything to do with databases.

Background: I have 5 CDs contain backed up files for a client and each
CD contains close to 70,000 files. The files are stored in
subdirectories of around 170 files each.

I am trying to use the Topaz CopyFile routine to copy files on a CD onto
a hard drive. If a file is physically towards the end of a CD I am
getting Error 31. If the file is towards the front of the CD I do not
get any erros. By "front" the file was written to the CD early in the
burn process and "end" towards the end of the burn.

I originally thought the problem was because the CDs contain multiple
sessions. I copied a CD to my hard drive and made new CDs with one
session and I still get the error.

Does anyone know what an Error 31 is?

I also got an Error 78 or 87, I can't remember which right now. Any
ideas on that error.

Phil Kidder
