Yeahr, it's a really quirky little program called "copy". Why on earth
would you think that we were using some other program. I said in my note
that they copied the files, and copied was what they did. I admit that I
should have said that they copied from the dos prompt, but if they were
using some special means of doing the copy, I would have mentioned it.

I don't think "copy" is that clever.
