Some interesting and "intuitive" implementations of file copying.
1) open 15,8,15;print#15,"c0:fileb=filea";close 15
2) cp filea fileb
3) copy filea fileb
4) pip fileb=filea
5) assign sysut1,dsn=filea,disp=old
assign sysut2,dsn=fileb,disp=new
exec iebgener
end
6) Oh bugger me, I can't figure this out in Windows.
I offer 100 GPs to any who can guess where 1-5 come from.
