 Nice, it probably also works to copy read only CD-files to your computer and making them non-read only as you are not doing anything with the attributes.

 I updated it slightly to take into account the BufSize parameter of CopyStream.

 Can't you use BlitzMax's CopyFile function which does the same thing? Make sure you're updated.

 unless you need to do something specific that the BRL CopyFile doesn't do, I'd suggest using that instead (I wrote this before the BMax update).
