!SLIPdial/Resources/UK/Help/copy
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
copy [/head=<n> /tail=<n>] <file1> <file2> copies one file to another. With either the /head or /tail qualifier, copies only the first or last <n> lines of the file. If <n> is unspecified, a default of 50 is used. For both move and copy, a '*' within the destination filename is replaced with a 4-digit random number such that the destination file is guaranteed unique. The created destination filename is also stored in the script variable '$dest', for later reference.
