OK, I found that, too. That's not my issue right now. My main issue is
some files just *don't* get copied, with no reason. The file names
could be 100 characters and they still fail..The only way I've got the
to copy is with open(), get_bytes() and puts(). But then I run out of
open file handles when I translate to C. Why, I don't know. I'm
closing all the files as I open them.

This is very frustrating, as I told my boss I'd have a working example
by Tuesday. I was also bragging how well Euphoria works, and now I'm
having issues.
