  Well, I just looked at my code (not the most up to date, but I can't
imagine that Jawaid tore it up too much while adding more error
reporting, or whatever), and if the second file on the command line
doesn't exist, it DOESN'T print out an error message...

  Are you using Sys 6.0?  Are you using an official release of GNO?
Are you using a really old version of cp?  I gave a few people copies
to test a LONG time ago, and it's possible that that was a bug in the
tester version, but I don't know.  In any case, there is no bug in cp.
