COpying to Same Inode ....

[Ben Duncan]

Yeah. It is for moving Appgen to another partition. They use a license file that
is tied to a "inode" number when you were given your activation key.

Since Appgen no longer exists (That's a whole 'nother story in itself),
and I am trying to MOVE up to a larger/faster/workstation, I need to move the
files and keep the same INODE for the license file.
