:) nothing like a dose of sarcasm to start a working day :)

Of course I have seen/used fileevent. fcopy is supposed to use
fileevents automatically. My suggestion is for fcopy replacement code.
It is more flexible that fcopy (and a lot of people complain about
fcopy being buggy, not just me) and can do speed control and progress
notification.
Plus my code suggests how to make any code run in background, not just
code driven by events. That's not something everyone will just learn
from documentation. I know that a lot of people probably know this
already but there are many more who don't, who, like me, waste hours
of our time trying to figure out something that should be clearly
documented.

And, if you had a suggestion with a code using fileevents, why not
post it? I don't post here for entertainment value, I work on real
problems that need real solutions.
