New Kernel CLI Commands
=======================
New options on the Copy command:
N - Copy Newer. This copies only datestamped files, and if there
is a file already at the destination then this examined before the
transfer. The transfer only occurs if the source is newer than the
destination. This is useful for updating large groups of files,
of which only a few have changed.
L - Copy and Look first. This looks at the destination before grabbing
the first part of the object being copied. In large copy-Ns, where
floppy-swapping is not involved, this can speed up the transfer dramatically.
T - Copy sTructure. This copies only the directory tree of a large
transfer.
S - Copy and Stamp. This stamps all files copied with the current
timestamp.
New command *RMEnsure:
Syntax: RMEnsure <module title> <version> [<action>]
This command allows applications which rely on specific versions of modules
to check easily that the module is loaded and has an adequate version. If
the module of the given title is not present, or has a version number that
is earlier than the given value, then the <action> is executed as a
*-command, or an error generated if the action is not present.
The version of each module can be read using *help modules. The syntax
of the version number is: [<digit>]<digit>[.<digit>[<digit>]].
