Here it is again, it re-copies the 29 primary and 29 dupe files to their correct locations. This will fix the

Oversight Team,
As you recall, due to rized move of the 29 OVP files, the Oversight Team approved a script
to re-copy them from tof. Unfortunately due to human error on my part, that seript
had an error and all 29 files went to the wrong directory on. a ail? the:
"duplicate" files from SMEOP67 to the location for the "prittaryy tes On | To fix this
situation, we need to re-copy the 29 primary and duplicate files to their correct locations,
On the positive side, I was able to determine that this happened by the results of Att's Directory-
Compare utility.
Please approve the attached script to be run and I will send it to Jto start as soon as possible.
Thanks, A
