Did I catch a Make-dir bug?

 [1/1] from: zokie::libero::it at: 1-Apr-2004 15:39


Hello, I have a LAN, with 2 computers: PC/Windows 98, Amiga 1200/AOS3.9. I need to transfer a directory from PC to Amiga and I wrote, many time ago, a script. It worked fine and I can even dump %output.prn to my Epson 640 connected to the Amiga Parallel Port. Due to Samba's setup, from PC I see Amiga's HD under this path: %/A1200T/All/ Today I decide to re-use that file to transfer many text files from PC to Amiga, and it doesn't work. Where is the fault? Destination directory doesn't exist so a line with make-dir/deep dst-dir is executed, but it breaks the script with this error: ** Access Error: Cannot open /A1200T/ In the Rebol shell I had typed "make-dir dst-dir" instead of "make-dir/deep dst-dir" and I have got the same error message but the directory was created before!!! By digging into the make-dir's source, I found that directories are created by this line close throw-on-error [open/new dirize dir] I have tryed: void: error? try [close open/new dirize dst-dir] or void: error? try [make-dir dst-dir] and they work: don't break script and create directory, but it is impossible to create a direcotry with its sub-dirs :( Do you have ideas or workaraund? Kind regards -- "Where did you get all those facts!?!"
