Another 4NT 8.02 vs TCC 9.02 diff - MOVE command

[Stephen Howe]

Hi

Has MOVE changed between 4NT 8.02 and TCC 9.02?

For space purposes on a Network drive, I have a batch file which unzips ZIP files and re-ZIPs them using maximal compression, placing them back they started, savign a small amount of space.

It looks like

>>>>>>>>>
for %a in (B2007*.Z) do (wzunzip %a C: & wzzip -ex -m C:%a C:*.* & move /Z C:%a m:)
>>>>>>>>>

Now this works under 4NT 8.02, it fails under TCC 9.02.
(The original ZIP files have a Z extension and have the read-only attribute set).

What I have determined is that the MOVE command

MOVE /Z C:B20070101.BR2.Z M:

is working for 4NT 8.02 but failing for TCC 9.02
I get "Access denied". MOVE is not honoring the /Z switch
If I remove the read-only attribute on the destination, MOVE then works for TCC 9.02.

In constrast, 4NT 8.02 does not care if the destination file is readonly or not, /Z works (and I have verified that without /Z and with readonly attribute, 4NT 8.02 also gives "Access denied" (the right thing under these combination of circumstances)).

Thanks
