revCopyFile under Tiger

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks all.

I probably will end up using the put method, as I intend to compress  
the files anyway.  I was just curious about revCopyFile, and whether  
or not there was some way to suppress that audio.  Sounds like there  
isn't, at least not right now.  There must be some way of doing it,  
though, since you can disable those sounds as Devin explained (which  
I found right after I posted my initial message).

Anyway, not a big deal, just kind of annoying if you have to copy  
several files right in a row.

Thanks again,
Chris
