Just a thought for the author of the wonderful PICNIX V3 Unix-like DOS utilities- the "cp" program on unix takes the command % cp filename /full/path/with/trailing/slash/ to mean "copy 'filename' to the directory specified, or error that there's no such directory". The PICNIX V3 "cp" command will toss the trailing slash and will behave as: C> ls / argle/ bargle/ foo C> cp foo bar/ C> ls argle/ bar bargle/ foo That should have reported an error "could not create file bar/foo" but it didn't - it simply tossed the trailing slash and created the file bar.
