Chip,
Glad I could help.
The reason it works is that since the file was closed properly due to
the disk being full, the actual filesize isn't written out to the header
block…but the full disk map and links are still available. Copy uses those,
rather than the filesize, to make another copy…so it gets the whole file, or
what there is of it anyway.
