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.
