Subject: tcopy muffs arg count check
Index: ucb/tcopy.c 2.10BSD
Description:
tcopy complains if you attempt to copy a tape to a file, i.e. by
giving a second argument.
Repeat-By:
try:
tcopy /dev/rmt0 /tmp/junk
note the complaint about argument usage:
Usage: tcopy src [dest]
using tcopy to examine a tape:
tcopy /dev/rmt0
works fine.
Fix:
I thought this had made it in to the distribution, apparently not.
Apply the patch below.
