  7. DESCRIPTION
  8.   FileCopy is a XCMD allowing to copy any file between two volumes or directories.
  9.  
  10. SYNTAX
  11.              FileCopy <prov file> [,«dest path or name»][,«replace»]
  12.                            [,«"DontResolveAlias"»][,«"DontShowProgress"»]
  13.  
  14. PARAMETERS
  15.    «» params are order-independants.
  16.  
  17.    <prov file> can be a single name or whole pathname. If just a single name is supplied, the file is assumed to be in the same folder than the current stack.
  18.  
  19.    «dest path or name» is optional. If not supplied, the file will be copied in the same folder as "Copy of...". If a single name is passed, the copy of the file will take that new name in the same folder. If the second param end with colon, the file will be copied in the designed folder and will keep its original name. Finally, a whole pathname can be provided to define both dest. directory and new file name.
  20.  
  21.    «replace» is a boolean allowing to automatically replace any existing file. Default is FALSE.
  22.  
  23.    «"dontResolveAlias"» allows to deal with an alias file itself (System 7.0 only) rather than with the file pointed by it.
  24.  
  25.    «"DontShowProgress"» allows to hide progress dialog.
  26.  
  27.    Using "!", "?" or "=" as first parameter will return an online help (resp. copyright, syntax and output).
  28.  
  29. USING
  30.    If the copy is successfull, the Result will contain the full pathname of the destination file.
  31.  
  32. ERRORS
  33.    If an error occurs, the Result can return :
  34.      "Error : Not a file"
  35.      "Error : Not a folder"
  36.      "Error : Alias file not supported"
  37.      "Error : Volume not found"
  38.      "Error : Bad Name"

  44.      "Error : Volume is locked"
  45.      "Error : No resource fork"
  46.      "Error : Duplicate file/folder name"
  47.      "Error : Moving whole volume not allowed"
  48.      "Error : Not an AppleShare volume"
  49.      "Error : AppleShare insufficient privileges"
