Not to be obnoxious, but its about time you explained
why you needed this.

It depends on how much time we have to program.
And how many additional features need to be added.
It was about 1.5 years between 5A(189) and 5A(190).
Its really hard to say.
In the meantime, I suggest that you use the SEND oldname newname
mechanism with delete on failure. And then, code your other task
to never copy a file unless it can open it with exclusive write
access which should fail while the file transfer is occuring.
