Version 1.1 of dcp                     Distribution is 14-Oct-93
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

dcp - device copy program for AmigaDOS.

dcp is a program which replaces filetodev/devtofile.  It allows
copying to/from devices and it determines automatically the types
and sizes of the source and destination.


** WARNING **
   If you don't know what this program does, DO NOT RUN IT.  It does
   NOT deal with filesystems at all when manipulating a raw device.
   If you only specify the destination name as a device, it will write
   on the RAW device.  If you had a filesystem there, it would most
   assuredly be corrupted.  For those that understand this warning, you
   might want to take a look at the code anyway.  For those that do not
   understand this warning, erase this package now.


Command line options:
       -b = specify buffer size
       -m = specify maximum blocks to transfer
       -ss = specify source block number at which to start
       -ds = specify destination block number at which to start
       -v = turn on verbose mode
       -h = give more help


Examples:
   dcp dh1: ram:junk
       Will copy the entire dh1: device to the file ram:junk

   dcp floppy df0:
       Will copy the file floppy to device df0:

   dcp dh2: dh3:
       Will copy device dh2: to device dh3:

   dcp myfile1 myfile2
       Will copy file myfile1 to file myfile2 (same as AmigaDOS copy,
               that partial blocks are not copied)

   dcp -ss 200 -m 8192 junk_file hddisk.device,3
       Will copy 8192 blocks of file junk_file to device 3 of hddisk.device
               starting at block 200 of the device

   dcp -m 1 scsi.device,0 -
       Will dump the first block of SCSI unit 0 to stdout (the screen)
