This needs some more discussion. If we look to Perl, for instance, it doesn't have a built-in copy. You should use either a module, or open both files, copy contents, and close both files. Thus, what I ask if we should have a copy method on OS.pmc. Basically, I think we have three hipothesis: 1) do not implement copy at all. 2) implement it under os.pmc, in C 3) implement it somewhere else in PIR Given that we have (I think) all the needed instructions in PIR, it will be a lot easier to make copy portable using the third choice... but I'm not sure if Parrot will ship with a PIR library... Please, share your ideas. Alberto
