[ne touchez pas] > The touch command, a subset of COPY, is documented as COPY fname+,, > ima!haddock!johna Try: copy file1 file2 copy file2+,, comp file1 file2 The behavior of this sequence led to my posting of a program that works right. If the command sequence seems to work, start with another `file1'. I'll leave the reason for the problem as an exercise for the reader. BTW, "copy fname+nul file" doesn't work the same way that "copy fname+,," doesn't. -- Gene E. Bloch (...!nsc!voder!gino)
