Dunno about Unix but I can accomplish the copy scenario within minutes on
OpenVMS and IT WILL WORK. Just that.
Of course you forget about it completely if you're talking Windoze as there
are so many hidden things and stuff in the registry. It's IMPOSSIBLE on
Windows. Again, I don't know about Unix because I don't know what's involved
when you install software there.
