FWD: RE: Argus, and moving 'live files'

[Chris Newton]

Bouncing this over, so everyone knows about this possible bug...

Carter gave me some suggestions already, and I'll likely implement them 
tonight.  It may take a couple of days before the problem resurfaces though.

--------------------------

   OK, first thing is to see if it happens in beta.10, as there
are some fixes in beta.9 that address output files, and beta.10
fixes a specific problem that caused argus to not generate
output.  Hard to say that any of this addresses your problem,
but gotta start with the latest.
