Makes sense. The file is opened deny write by the DMI service layer and
DosCopy does not support the options needed to be able to open the file.

>How can I copy this file? Can *you* copy this file?

Use a proper backup program or shut down dmisl.exe.

Yes, I can.

>I can TYPE the file. I can open it with EPM.
>But I can't COPY or XCOPY it.

These are all true facts.
