I don't have a copy.exe. Copy is an internal function of command.com and
does not run like a normal program. I think "command -c copy" is how to
invoke it, but I was trying to avoid that for people using alternate
shells like 4dos and bash. I do have cp.exe and I package it with my
lynx'es.
The cp I distribute isn't confused by the screwed up slashes. Also, I
don't have any problem with the names of things being longer than 8.3
under Win95. Does the FNAMES stuff disable my ability to save stuff with
names > 8.3 or use stuff in directory names > 8.3 ? I haven't had a
chance to unravel it all.
Also, it looks like the LYdownload patch is changing the behavior of the
VMS path rather than the the intended DOS/Win32 area.
