HELP DCLCOPY                                        Aaron Sloman Jan 82

The DCL copy command has the format

    $ COPY <oldfile> <newfile>

If ADOLFZ has a file called FOO.P and you want a copy in your directory, then
type:

    $ COPY [ADOLFZ]FOO.P []

The '[]' means copy it into my current directory, using the same name.
If you wanted the new file to be called BAZ.P in your directory, do

    $ COPY [ADOLFZ]FOO.P    BAZ.P

You can also use COPY to join several old files to form a new one. E.g.

    $ COPY OLD1.P, OLD2.P, OLD3.P NEW.P

Note that commas separate the old files, then a space, then the new file. The
file NEW.P will have the contents of all the preceding files in the sequence
given.

If you want to get a copy of a library file, the easiest way is to use the
editor. When you are in VED you can do the following:

    ENTER SHOWLIB <filename>

VED will read in the file, you can then write it to a file in your directory
using the VED ENTER W command specifying the name you'd like it to have.
For instance, to get a copy of LIB RIVER, and call it MYRIV.P, do:

    <ENTER> SHOWLIB RIVER

VED then reads in the file.

    <ENTER> W MYRIV.P

VED then 'writes' a copy of the file into your disk area, calling it MYRIV.P.
You can get rid of the library version by typing:

    <ENTER> Q

I.e. quit the SHOWLIB RIVER.

You can then edit your copy with

    <ENTER> VED MYRIV.P
