I did not test these, so there might be errors. Under Linux there
should be no problem, also Amiga behaves very well when moving a file
that is open. On Windows9x it won't work, as the system is very picky
about open files, you just can not do anything with those. It is a
problem ( or a design decision) with Windows not FAT as FAT under
Linux (I have some shared volumes) behaves like it should (in my
opinion)
