Hi Marc,
On Windows Gambit uses the WIN32 CopyFile function. So the semantics of CopyFile is what you are getting when you call copy-file. If you do figure out where the .lnk is coming from please let us know.
The problem seems to be, that somewhere in my program (which runs under unix also) something like (run-command "ln -s") is called (and I have a cygwin ln in my path) and than later on the result is copied with (copy-file ...), which behaves as is should. So it's all my fault.
But I have another question. Normally on an xterm Ctrl-S stops the output from a program, but it doesn't work with my gambit script. So do I have to catch/enable a signal?
Regard, Christoph

Hi,
I have a question concerning copy-file on windows. my setup: filesystem on linux mounted over samba on
windows I try to
copy a file with "copy-file", which is acutaly a symlic link under linux. This results in a .lnk-file. Is there a way to make a real copy of the file?
sorry for the noise, but I think the source of my problem
comes from
elsewhere. How could I suspect gambit?
