I am writing a rather large program (about 550K) in C and I recently
noticed that when I called "system" in the following way

	system("copy file1 file2");

there was not enough memory to perform the copy.
Is there a way of copying files that doesn't require as much memory.
Thanks in advance
	Jon Oliver
