Subject: [Rd] file.copy() problems on WinNT (PR#1085)
Message-ID: <200109061307.PAA29781@pubhealth.ku.dk>

For some files, file.copy() doesn't copy these files correctly.

Here you will find a file (Bitmap, 769Kb) to reproduce the problem:
 http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test1.bmp

Using 
 file.copy("c:/test1.bmp", "c:/test2.bmp", overwrite = TRUE)
produces a second file with the size of ~1.4 Mb:
 http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test2.bmp

To reduce size, I put both files into following zip archive:
 http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test.zip

Using file.copy() with the same file on Solaris and Linux works fine.
