Does anyone have the source code for a Public Domain cp?  I'm wanting to
write one for my IBM AT to compile and use under DOS, but I don't have the
slightest idea how to do it right.  Thanks in advance.

Egad!  You don't have a degree in computer science, do you? 

Ok...

open first file (checking for errors ... bailout if necessary)
creat second file (checking for errors ... bailout if necessary)
while (read a buffer from first file) is greater than 0,
	write a buffer to second file (check for errors..)
exit

That will not work if you have something like "cp file1 [file2 ...] target".
Althought I have to admit that even that is not too complex.  Since that
cp comes with unix I gather that the requester wants something more that 
just cp.  As in 4.2 BSD cp that has the -r option.  

Don't mind me it late and I am tried.
