Hi,

Anyone use SyncDiscs by David Pilling & Chris Johnson.

I often get a type=5 error message.

Sometimes it says it's completed but with an error message.

FAST  Pi Compute Module 4  RISC OS 5.29

I can't interpret what's going on and there was no info about error
messages in the helpfile.

Reporter output extract and error message below.
