A couple of new utilities, contributed by Steve van Aardt. They are called
fcp and unzip. Description:
Contents: fcp
This is a protected disk copier for machines with >800K or
workspace (ie 420's +). It's about as fast as *BACKUP and has
a reasonable success rate - if like me yu want to protect you
investment it's worth using. The original program (pretty
crude - well it still is) was written by H. Rogers of UnixLib
fame, I have made it somewhat easier to use, and will soon
produce a version which works in as much memory as is available.
Contents : unzip
Description: This is the executable 'unzip' - a program
to extract files from a zip archive file,
such as that created by PKZIP.
