Heh, I can feel the rumbling and shaking ground from here Jon, but on 
my last amiga, that lack of being able to open and backup a file that 
was open at the time the backup was running, was the major reason I 
wasn't able to recover from a disk failure.  The backup contained 
none of the system specific config files that I needed, or had to 
reinvent the flippin wheel to re-create in order to actually get it 
to boot from a hard drive.  By then I had a linux box running and 
figured it was time to retire that old war-horse and bring myself 
into the 90's.  It seems as if Diavolo Pro silently skipped those 
files with open locks on them.  I personally believe that is a major 
screwup on the part of amigaos-3.1.  Worse, I don't believe its all 
that uncommon either.
