[Coco] Fw: [nitros9:bugs] #27 Copy Does not return error on Disk Full like OA-9 Copy did

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Backtrack a few messages and you will see the "C" code. 

Perhaps something else changed since "Preinstalled Hard disk image Nitros9 Ver 3.2.8" for VCC where I saw the error. It was working on OS-9.

I an unable to test anymore, my attempt to get VCC installed again subjected me to a tidal wave of debris so very dangerous that I needed to be helicoptered out via (System Restore).

ETA of my trying again may be in my seventh reincarnation, if then. My reason to use the utility that showed the error has disappeared and I do not expect to use it anymore.

So close it out if you wish, but my scanning of the code in "COPY" did not see a clear path to exit with non-zero status.
