revCopyFile : compiler error

[Sarah]

revCopyFile uses an Applescript and as I found to my cost, there are 
many undocumented changes between the AppleScript of OS 9 and that of 
OS X :-(

If the files are small enough to fit into memory, you could try using 
get URL and then put URL to re-save into the new location. if the files 
are too big, you could still use open/close, read & write commands to 
copy the file yourself.

Alternatively, find the AppleScript that revCopyFile uses, test it in 
the AppleScript Script Editor and put it back into your stack for use 
with OS 9.

Cheers,
Sarah
