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.
