I'll just write a copyfile function in LC then. That should be near-C

Thanks, Maarten
I would second Mark's option to use shell, I have a complete in-house
version control system for InDesign files that runs pretty much entirely
using cp and mv .
These all run about as fast as the network and disk I/0 can handle...
e.g.
command Checkout pFileName
CheckServerIsMounted
if the uServerMounted of this stack <> "true" then
answer "Sorry, Server is not mounted, you cannot check out
files." with "OK"
exit to top
end if
# Make a copy in Versions Archive
put (the uServerProjectPath of this stack) &"/"& pFileName into
tCurrentLocationPath
put tCurrentLocationPath into tArchivePath
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
put "/Versions Archive" after item 5 of tArchivePath
put ("cp " & quote & tCurrentLocationPath & quote &" "& quote &
tArchivePath & quote) into tShell
get shell (tShell)
# update Control string and rename the top level file
put the uUserInitials of this stack into char -7 to -6 of pFileName
replace "-ci-" with "-co-" in pFileName
put (the uServerProjectPath of this stack) &"/"& pFileName into
tNewNamePath
put ("mv " & quote & tCurrentLocationPath & quote &" "& quote &
tNewNamePath & quote) into tShell
get shell (tShell)
# Copy to local folder
put gLocalProjectPath &"/"& pFileName into tNewLocalPath
put ("cp " & quote & tNewNamePath & quote &" "& quote &
tNewLocalPath & quote) into tShell
get shell (tShell)
# update GUI now
LoadVersionFiles gCurrentProject
# boot InDesign and edit
launch (tNewLocalPath) with (the uInDesignPath of this stack) #
expand to handle other file types
end Checkout
