	WTF. Try it, it SURE AS HELL DOES RETURN ERROR #248!!!

(If you're interested, it's the call to 'os9 I$SetStt' (line 415) to set
the files size the same as the destination that returns the error and
copy dutifully reports it on exit.)

Last week's _Chronicle_ erroneously reported that Eric Mitchell [member
of the Austin City Council] had shouted "Up yours" to residents of the
Swede Hill neighborhood at a Housing Subcommittee meeting last year.
In fact, Mitchell leveled a "Screw You!" to the residents.  The
_Chronicle_ regrets the error.    -- From the January 19, 1996 issue of

     My quick glance at "Copy.asm" says disk full is no longer returned
     like
     the original OS-9 "Copy" did.

     An the person who did it was:
     * 11 2003/01/11 Boisy G. Pitre
     * Added useful options, made more robust.
 nam   Copy
 ttl   File copy utility

     * Added useful options, made more robust.

     and made it incompatible with old programs. Tmode also changed. Is
     this
     progress?
