CP 1.51f - yeah, another release...



  Well, I needed to blow off some important work, so I whipped up
another important release of this puppy.  Phillip: this fixes the mv
problem you had.  All ORCA shell users: this fixes it so you can make
it restartable in your syscmnd file.  All other users: it has some
minor changes that may or may not affect you.  You'd better get it.

  Here's an excerpt from the about.cp file:
----------------begin----------------
cp 1.5f

  I fixed a feature which prevented moving a file onto the root of a volume.
  I added some code to make the whole dang thing re-startable, so you can now
put the line:

CP              *U                      Greg's unixy cp/mv/rm

into your 4/syscmnd file.
  I'm now linking with Soenke's getopt.lib rather than the getopt in lbsd.
  Since I added a resource fork in 1.4, I decided to put an rToolStartup
resource into the file, and make use of it in the program.  Yippee.

cp/mv/rm 1.4f (in case you missed it before):

Someone mentioned that cp ignored the optionLists while copying files
to/from non-ProDOS volumes.  True.  Well, now it doesn't.

What does this mean?  If you copy a file which is on a non-ProDOS
volume, more information about the file is handled properly.  For
instance, file types and creators aren't lost when copying on HFS volumes.

Other changes: I added an rVersion and an rComment resource to the
executable so you can now easily tell which version of CP you're
using.  Cool, eh?
---------------------end-----------------

  So, as you can see, it's important that you get this update
IMMEDIATELY.  Yes, right now.  Either get cp.bxy off of ccosun or
pindarus, or get cp.bsq off of c.b.a2.

  Have a blast.
