tool/cp.tcl

#/usr/bin/tclsh
#
# This is a TCL script that copies multiple files into a common directory.
# The "cp" command will do this on unix, but no such command is available
# by default on Windows, so we have to use this script.
#
#   tclsh cp.tcl FILE1 FILE2 ... FILEN DIR
#

# This should be as simple as
#
#     file copy -force -- {*}$argv
#
# But jimtcl doesn't support that.  So we have to do it the hard way.
