Easy to hit bug. I bet when you call "Write(...)" for the first segment of
the line you count the nul character, when you continue you start just past
the nul you outputed. DME probably treats the NUL as the EOL since C does.
But copy, and AmigaDOS in general just blasts whats in the file to the
console and if it happens to have nuls in it, it doesn't care.
