_T_c_o_p_y is designed to copy magnetic tapes. The only assump-
tion made about the tape is that there are two tape marks at
the end. _T_c_o_p_y with only a source tape (rrmmtt00 by default)
specified will print information about the sizes of records
and tape files. If a destination is specified a copy will
be made of the source tape. The blocking on the destination
tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.
Copying a tape will yield the same output as if just print-
ing the sizes.
The --ss option allows you to specify a maximum block size.
The --vv option verifies that two tapes are identical. The --cc
option does the copy and then verifies that the two tapes
are identical.
